[QUOTE="Nastucha, post: 556533, member: 67405"] Hi everyone, my name is Anastasia and this Camino (starting from Madrid and heading towards Santiago and maybe a bit further if I can make it) is a part of my first ever solo travel experience. I am a little unprepared and was feeling really anxious about starting the Camino for about 2 weeks and I'm also getting a tiny bit lonely after not meeting any other pilgrims on my fist day, so I desided to write this thread instead to share my experiences here with you...I am planning only 1 day in advance and following a few blogs on this forum which I found very useful, thanks to all of you who share experiences here☺️ Day 1. Madrid to Tres Cantos So after arriving to Madrid and doing last minute shopping for Camino essentials I to set off on my first day of walking from the Church of Santiago and Saint John the Baptist around 12pm on Friday 22/09. It wasn't a particularly pleasant walk until I got out of the city centre and onto unpaved path. I met no pilgrims on the route, just heard a couple of "buen camino'es" from a couple of cyclists passing by. All the suggested hotels in Tres Cantos were booked out except for the most expensive one and I wasn't really prepared to pay 100Eur on my first day of the Camino, so I have called the local police the day before to arrange to stay at an ayuntamento/albergue there (10:30pm to 6am). I had one more call to the police when I was waiting at the Ayuntamento as I was afraid they have forgotten about me and then it was all settled shortly after. I had the whole room in the basement to myself and the town hall didn't appear to be haunted-that's a bonus -Yess[ATTACH]36378[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
