- Time of past OR future Camino
- 2023
Back in 2019, my wife and I started the CF with the intention of doing it in stages: SJPP-Burgos, Burgos-Leon, Leon-SdC. With Covid, our travels were interrupted until last year. Fearing larger than usual crowds on the CF, we chose to walk the Portugués por la Costa including the VE (a great Camino). So plans are now made for returing to Spain this coming spring to continue with our second leg of the CF - Burgos to Leon.
Having already walked the Meseta once, I can’t wait to get back and share it with my wife. After four Caminos of her own, she has become a very good camionista! Having done Caminos solo and with my wife, although very different walking experiences, I’m looking forward to sharing more of the CF with her. Our schedule these days is such that doing two week Caminos works best for us. We always finish off with a couple days in Madrid.
In any case, I just wanted to share with this Forum, how easy it was to make reservation for private rooms along this section of The Way. When my wife and I walk together, it works best that we reserve ahead our accommodations. At the end of the day, we know where we are staying and can enjoy a bit of privacy although our preference is to book rooms in albergues when we can with our fellow peregrinos. So, after flying into Madrid and taking the bus to Burgos, we’ll take a relatively easy nine days to get to Leon. I look forward to staying in different hostals and albergues than on my last time through with the exception of two of my favorites in Hontanas and Madrid.
I had great success on Booking.com and through direct emails to hostals/albergues in making all of our reservations. At this point in time, a number of good choices still existed in most of the towns we are stopping in. Further, the immediate responses to my direct emails was fantastic. So, we’re all set with what I think will be a great set of accommodations along The Way. For anyone looking to make spring reservations, now is certainly a good time to do so.
Looking forward to bumping into some of you know the Meseta. Buen Camino!
