      If your train offers it and you pay more for the “Premium” ticket or I think the “Elige Confort” with the add-on you can access the lounge at Chamartin. It’s quiet, has free food and drink 🍺 ☕️ 🥤, the departures are on a screen in front of you...

      You can take the Cercanias C10 or C1 commuter train from the airport to Chamartin directly and either get euros at an ATM at the airport or there are 4 banks just outside the south end of Chamartin. I’m going to Leon from Madrid in September and...

      I second on the Camino de Madrid. You can do in 12 days if you do a 38km day on the last day, or take the local commuter train to Tres Cantos from Madrid and cut a mostly concrete first stage out. The Madrid is amazingly beautiful, easy to get to...

      I switched from Icebreaker socks to Merino Wrightsocks. The Wrightsocks have a poly liner and Merino outersocks and are practically blister free because of the combination!

      Yep, I do a 20k hike/walk every Sunday before breakfast and if there’s any precip I always use it. So much in fact one of the “regulars” on the trail asked me where my umbrella was when it was only misty and I didn’t have it out…

      The Gossamer Gear umbrellas worked great for me on the Lana for sun and I tested for wind and rain here in the Pacific Northwest where I live. The upper part of the hands free attachment worked great, I used the elastic “bungee” attached to the...

      It is probably where you met your bull, as it is on the way down!

      You’re right on that, a lot of it is loose rock about the size of baseballs! I took that photo trying to capture how steep some of those sections are, and all on rock. I was thinking about adding La Granja like TIMR said next time. Is that...
