Camino de Madrid de Santiago May/June 2018

[KSWard]

Hola from Camino de Madrid!
I cannot thank the ones who have posted about this Camino enough! There is not a lot of information in English about this walk, and it is beautiful and peaceful!
So thankful for www.rayyrosa.com . We stayed in their beautiful bunkhouse in Manzanares Real and had dinner and breakfast with them. They helped us secure our next night reservations and had so much knowledge of the Caminos. They are such a blessing! Their website has much wonderful information!
I have found many of the members’ blogs and posts helpful in planning our Camino. If any of you are interested in our trip, my husband is doing a blog. He is trying to stay on top of it daily. Here is the link: https://100yearsofglorytogod.blogspot.com/

Good morning to you both, I have done several Caminos myself, including the Camino De Francis and Via De La Plata etc.
I am walking the Camino De Madrid starting two weeks today, and flowing in your footsteps as it were.
Thanks to you both for your great Blog, I have been following it with avid interest each day.
Take care and Buen Camino
