Thank you so much, Laurie! Great information. I have never been to Spain and thought I would explore Madrid after the Camino but I think I will spend the night and next day then head to Pamplona. I appreciate the guidance and now I can check out those options.
gratefully,
Colleen
Does anyone know what the chances are of me landing in Madrid at 6:35pm and being able to taxi to Atocha to catch a 7:35pm train to Pamplona? That is the last train of the day it seems. Also, how late are the folks at Corazon Puro willing to pick up at the train station?
I begin my Camino June 12th~ish 2015, from SJPDP. Flying from San francisco to Madrid, busing to SJPDP via Pamplona. I can hardly think about anything else! I keep thinking about all the people I will meet along the way. Thanks to those who share their experiences and advice here. It is...
Not sure if this thread is still active. I just bought "Darn Tough" merino wool socks. I've been told you don't need a liner with them because they fit so snuggly. Do you have any opinion on this brand?
I would love to be able to walk earlier. I am a teacher and have June - August off. From what I've read it sounds like the weather is changeable in June but quite hot in July. What were the temps last year? It looks like there is water along the way do people cool off in the rivers/streams?
WOW!! I have been in and out of internet service for the past few days. Just seeing these posts. Thank you all so much for the wealth of knowledge you have shared. I think SFO to Madrid makes the most sense for me. I already feel the warmth and fellowship that the Camino promises. Thanks...
I am wanting to book a flight soon for June 2015 to walk the Camino Frances. Any advice about where to fly into from California would be great. Madrid? Paris? Portugal? Thanks!
