DTCamino replied to the thread Camino de Madrid.I found Jeffrey Barrera’s guidebook to the Camino de Madrid helpful when I walked it in late September last year. Whatever it didn’t cover the forum filled in the blanks. When walking the Buen Camino app and Gronze were also useful. It’s a... -
DTCamino replied to the thread Best route into Burgos.I did that section 17 months ago and the Buen Camino App worked like a charm for the river route. The early crossover on Avenida de la Constitucion Espanola only had 2 arrows pointing to the left and no real crosswalk and was missed by all the...

DTCamino replied to the thread Ordering beer in Spain.I agree about the Cana. My friends in Spain told me if you order the Cana it’s usually smaller but cheaper per ounce then the other beer sizes (like a happy hour discount) and so I usually order a Cana and then don’t fill guilty if I want an...

DTCamino replied to the thread The one thing I should have done before I left for the Camino.I shut the water off to the house, any wash/dish machine etc or waterline could leak until you get back…

You can wait until nearly departure to put your backpack underneath the bus, I usually wait until near the end to do that, then slide someone else’s bag over...

DTCamino replied to the thread How far in advance book the accommodations.I’m walking April 21st for just the first 2 weeks until Cuenca and I was able to book everything for those 2 weeks. Only 1 place made me wait until I was 5 weeks out to confirm. When I started booking 6 months in advance a lot of places showed...

DTCamino replied to the thread Food to bring to Spanish friend from US.My friends in Madrid always want Ghirardelli chocolate 🍫 (I don’t know why, maybe a memorable trip to San Francisco?). It’s always hand delivered upon arrival, but I like your idea of mailing it from within Spain. Mailing them items from the US...

DTCamino replied to the thread Backpacks Check-in or carry-on.I agree, usually my time in Madrid is short and I use it for getting a few supplies before I catch my train for my starting point. Since walking poles in Spain only cost $20-30 a set, I don’t mind buying them and donating them on my way out...
