    🚄 New high speed train Madrid Oviedo

    Great video and so informative! Never realized that catching a fast train in Spain was like catching a flight though…what a process lol.

    🚄 New high speed train Madrid Oviedo

    I’d like to know the same info. I don’t see one listed on R2R.

    Madrid - ease of travelling from there to SDC

    Love your honesty! I’m getting a headache trying to research routes on R2R so it’s nice to know there is another website…although it sounds like it’ll only create a bigger headache if it’s “shite” haha. I was a bit surprised that R2R was only showing one train a day (not direct, through Ourense)...

    Madrid - ease of travelling from there to SDC

    Now that all you wonderful people have given me all this information and advice about getting to Santiago from Madrid, has anyone ventured from Madrid to Sarria? Because I’m almost thinking that would make more sense…but R2R only shows one departure from Sol and again, with tight connections in...

    Madrid - ease of travelling from there to SDC

    Oh my gosh, you guys, this is all invaluable advice! We’re thinking we’ll plan on leaving a day earlier to meet up in Santiago with our group so that we aren’t stressing…it sounds pretty complicated! Then we have all day to get there…I still feel traveling by train gives one the opportunity to...

    Madrid - ease of travelling from there to SDC

    Actually I’d love to find a pet sit and stay in Spain for at least a mont and just explore around. I agree that two weeks is nothing but all the vacation time my daughter could get off. I may head to Ireland when she goes home and do some walks over there…

    Madrid - ease of travelling from there to SDC

    I think you’re all so smart because it’s true, I have limited time and while I want to see it all, realistically I can’t! When I walked the Portuguese this past May I did just what you suggested…left the recovery - I mean “holiday” 😆 - for the end of the walk. Based on all these great...

    Madrid - ease of travelling from there to SDC

    Thanks so much for all the suggestions of where to visit! I only picked Valencia and Seville because I’ve heard lots about them. Personally I’d prefer visiting smaller, less touristy places that offer charm, history and beauty (a lot to ask I know 😆)and it would be nice to stay close to Madrid...

    Madrid - ease of travelling from there to SDC

    Looking for some advice! My daughter and I are travelling from Canada Sept 2024, landing in Madrid where we hope to chill for a few days b4 needing to meet up with a group in SdC. I’m hoping to fly but back up option is catching the early am train. It looks like a tight connection between Sol...

    The “Old” Camino Inglés Options

    In reading Dave’s extensive and informative post, did you find Wise Pilgrim directed you on the newer routes (which def sound less desirable)? I’m planning to walk this next May on my own so I really don’t want to get lost but the idea of country roads over main roads is infinitely preferable...

    The Second Camino - how much did it differ from the first (mentally)?

    Yikes, well thanks for that info! Seems the Camino is becoming more and more popular which is kinda changing the experience…

    The Second Camino - how much did it differ from the first (mentally)?

    Oh that’s really good to know, thanks so much! Maybe a wee bit of pre-booking is prudent after all…🤔 It’ll be in May which I know is also a very popular time.

    The Second Camino - how much did it differ from the first (mentally)?

    Your sentiments mirror my own. I completed my first Camino in May of this year after many years of planning…I kept postponing it for one reason or another but I think overall I was just scared and overwhelmed by all the preparation and expectations I’d set upon myself. Now that I’m planning my...
