    Getting to Madrid from Santiago

    Is there only one fast train company? I guess what I'm asking is, what train do you recommend to get from Santiago to Madrid (closest to the airport)? Please and thank you

    Pilgrims Office, SJPP - Hiking Poles

    I couldn't agree more. I had heard such wonderful things about them. I'm glad I have asked them to pick us up and transfer my after Camino luggage on to Santiago. I'm going in October. I will try to make a post, letting you know what they say. I still wonder if they're driving luggage to...

    Pilgrims Office, SJPP - Hiking Poles

    I was thinking of Express Bouricott!! They will be doing my transfer from SJPP to Santiago. (They are also picking me up at the airport when I arrive) I think I'm going to ask them what they think. I'm just thinking of the hundreds of poles. Seems like such a waste. I understand that it may not...

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Norte Trail: Journey Interrupted and Resumed

    Each morning for this Maine girl, I reach for my phone after getting my coffee to read your journey. As I giggled at your description of yourself, I cheered you on for "embracing the suck." (A term my 85 year old mother claims she would like to wash my mouth out with soap when I say it 😂) Buen...
