    Euros

    Another reason to bring 2 cards with you: during my walk, someone in the US somehow used my card fraudulently. This was the card I used for most everything. When this was caught by the bank, they immediately shut down my card (standard practice). It took more than a week to fix, especially...

    How to get to the Camino from the U.S. - Atlanta to SJPDP and Santiago to Atlanta.

    My first Camino, I flew from ATL to Madrid, bus to Pamplona then taxi. Return was a very cheap and quick flight from Santiago to Madrid. My second Camino, I flew non-stop from Charlotte to Madrid, round trip. Same arrangements to SJPP and then back from Santiago. This was easy both ways.

    Santo Domingo to Burgos

    Blessings to you, David. So sorry you are unwell. Prayers your way! May you be able to have a meaningful Camino despite this setback.

    One way tickets OK?

    I had an injury walking the Camino last April. I needed to stop walking and return to the US. Certainly it was a factor that I returned on very short notice, but it cost me over $2000 to do so (and one airline wanted $3000). Much gratitude for travel insurance!

    Train stations, Leon

    I like the idea of going to the Cathedral first. Leon is a wonderful city, the Cathedral is so beautiful, and you can capture the vibe of the city as you continue along. On the other hand, the river walk is beautiful too. Edit to add: the train station is easy to navigate.

    Bus from Pamplona to St. Jean PDP

    Judy, I'm getting my plane ticket on Tuesday -- planning on being in Pamplona on April 10 after taking the bus from Madrid. My plane should arrive early morning. I'lll let you know for sure once I have my ticket in hand.

    Bus from Pamplona to St. Jean PDP

    Judy, there's a good chance I'll be doing that on April 10th. I buy my ticket this coming week. I'll PM you! And, I've had the same trouble checking all this out as you did.

    Transiting Barajas1 to 4

    I arrived at Barajas T1 a half hour earlier than your schedule and the ALSA bus left T4 about the same time as yours. I did have to pick up my poles packed in a mailing tube that I had checked. I remember having lots of time to eat a leisurely breakfast, get some Euros, and wander around. So I...

    Stay in Santiago or stay near airport?

    A caveat: I had a flight out of the airport later in the morning. Thankfully, I like to make sure I have plenty of time in case of snafus. I went to the Praza de Galicia to catch the bus. We never received an explanation as to why, but we waited over an hour for the bus to come. By this...

    Recommendations for the best way to get from Santiago to Madrid?

    I booked a flight from Santiago to Madrid a couple of weeks before I planned to do this. It still cost me under $100 with Iberia -- if I wanted to go late at night, I could have paid far less on Ryan Air. All of these prices were for not checking bags. Getting to the airport from Santiago...

    From USA

    I second the recommendation for Corazon Pura for your first night. I flew from Asheville, NC to Madrid (connection in ATL). Took a bus to Pamplona, it was easy and I reserved my bus seat online in advance. Istvan from Corazon Pura picked me up at the bus station, really enjoyed the dinner and...

    From Santiago to Madrid

    Thanks, Hans! I'll check it out.

    From Santiago to Madrid

    I just bought my ticket (plane) from Santiago to Madrid for June 7, will depart from MAD June 8. Suggestions for hotels near the airport? I will arrive late afternoon and have a late morning departure the next day. I'm thinking I won't want the hustle and bustle of getting downtown and then...
