[QUOTE="t2andreo, post: 765723, member: 25553"] Having done this a couple of times: 1. I suggest the open jaw airplane ticket as more efficient. Fly into Paris and take the trains to SJPDP. From Santiago, fly, bus or train to Madrid, and fly home from Madrid. 2. I recommend 42 days total. That is two days on the front to get positioned, rested, and provisioned at SJPdP, two days AFTER Santiago on the back, and 38 days to complete the Camino and see Santiago. The 38 days are based roughly around the 33 days in Mr. Brierley’s Guide. I would add one night to stay at Orisson the first night, shortly after leaving SJPdP. Once you do it you will understand why. The remaining four (4) days are for a rest day (one each) at Burgos, Leon and maybe Astorga. This allows one extra day at Santiago. It means you would have to leave the day after you arrive. Personally, I would manage the 42 days to allow more time at Santiago and none at Madrid. For example, you can arrive by air at Paris, as discussed above. Afterwards you can fly from Santiago to Madrid and make a connection to your home country that day. That is how I am returning to Florida on 16 August. I use Iberia, American Airlines, or a combination of both to ensure my connections at Madrid are in the same terminal. This saves a lot of time, drama, and stress. If you are compelled to use Air Canada (AC) from Canada to Paris, and from Madrid back to Canada, I am CERTAIN they can book your flight from Santiago to Madrid on a codeshare partner. Be very careful of allowing enough time to get from one Madrid terminal to another. Some terminals are a 10-15 minute bus / shuttle ride from the others. This is a seriously huge airport. Just allow more time than they suggest. Remember, once you leave the secure zone, you will have to wait and go through security again. That is why I prefer my AA / IB connections. All flights are in and out of Madrid terminal #4. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
