[QUOTE="timr, post: 533492, member: 5237"] [USER=29343]@LesBrass[/USER] I did Camino Madrid, as far as Valladolid, in May of this year. The one spot it seems to me you would need to worry about snow would be Fuenfria, before Segovia. (I cannot speak about the section between Valladolid and Sahagun). Its elevation is 1.796m (5,892ft). It is a bit of a rough road up, although there is a mountain bike trail as well. You would need to check out the historical snow reports. I have just tried and cannot find them:( Just a comment on what [USER=25553]@t2andreo[/USER] says. I started with Mass in the Church of Santiago & St John in May this year, on a Thursday. I was able to collect my credencial and sello [I]before[/I] the Mass (and it was not contingent on my going to Mass);). There was a blessing for me (alone) at the end of Mass! And I then walked from there to Tres Cantos that afternoon setting out at 1pm and I was there at 6:30pm. It is a bit of a slog, but well signposted from Plaza de Castilla on the Paseo de Castellana. About 3 hours to get out of the city, which stops very abruptly(!) and then another 3 hours kind of cross country but a good bit of it on a senda next to highway. If you like cities (as I do) it is a nice walk. It goes directly past the Bernabeu stadium as well! Between the end of the city and Tres Cantos there are no provisions so collect some water at Plaza de Castilla. I really enjoyed the CM. It was very solitary in May and I guess would be the same in March. But very good infrastructure. I made some notes [URL='https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/a-short-walk-from-madrid.47865/']here[/URL] I also walked from Porto to SdC in November last year and loved it. The weather was probably better than you would expect in March, as it was uncommonly warm when I walked. But you wouldn't have to worry about snow at any point. [/QUOTE]
