Dear Camino Company,
I need help planning, and I'm set to leave in 5 days! I've got my passport, my Brierly and all my supplies. What I don't have is a way to get from the MAd airport to my starting point on the Frances. I'm trying to book my transit from Madrid airport to wherever I start the Frances. And I can't get a single bus or train! The best place for me to start, to give myself the first week at 10-19 km per day, is Calzadilla. But the only bus leaves before I land. I get to Madrid at 11:50 am on August 29, and I can't find a single way of getting anywhere on the Camino past Burgos before Leon.
The renfe trains are all not selling at this time, and the ALSA buses say they're unavailable except for 1 that leaves(to Calzadilla) before I land. There's nothing from Terradillos de los Templarios or Palencia or anywhere nearby until the next day (August 30) if at all. Please, can you help? What do I do?
I'm taking off this Sunday, August 28, and I've got my supplies ready - but no way of getting on the trail!
All I can find is Leon, and that would have me finishing on Sept 15 (5 days early!) even taking the whole first week at half pace. Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you.
Yours truly,
-Roselyn,
