    Connecting the Camino de Madrid to the Via de la Plata

    I´d like to give a complete overview of how I got from Madrid to Santiago, where I spent the nights, any comments on the route and if I´d do anything differently so here goes. I need to say I started my camino in Puebla de Sanabria and walked to Santiago in 9 days; only then did I start my...

    Connecting the Camino de Madrid to the Via de la Plata

    @alansykes your gr14 suggestion has actually made me totally reconsider my plans. I think it's a great idea to follow the Douro River but since it's so well signposted and there's a dedicated GR14 website describing the whole riverside route I thought I might as well keep following it all the...

    ALL NEW Route into Ourense - avoid the poligono and walk in nature!

    Yeah it took me a couple of hours to figure it all out, and even then I got lucky that what I saw on google maps indeed proved to be true. But it was so worth it! And of course silence reigns because you don´t encounter anyone :)

    A Winter Experience on the Salvador (from 2014)

    Thanks for the story! I always wonder about winter caminos and this sounds extreme!

    Connecting the Camino de Madrid to the Via de la Plata

    That sounds like an interesting alternative. I had heard of the Sureste but Gronze doesn´t display it. Is the path along the Duero to Tordesillas signposted? And the day from Benavente to Santa Marta de Tera, is it an offical camino/sign posted?

    ALL NEW Route into Ourense - avoid the poligono and walk in nature!

    No unfortunately it isn´t. After all, I came up with this variant completely by myself :)

    Connecting the Camino de Madrid to the Via de la Plata

    I have just finished part of the Via de la Plata walking from Puebla de Sanabria to Santiago in 10 days. Last year after finishing my Camino del Norte /Muxia I walked the Camino de Madrid to Segovia and I´ve always wondered if it were possible to connect the Madrid to the Via de La Plata to...

    ALL NEW Route into Ourense - avoid the poligono and walk in nature!

    People that have encountered me on the Camino have probably at some point got to know about my utter dislike for asphalt. As opposed to some puritans I like to adapt my camino if it means nicer paths in nature and less paved roads. With that mindset I looked ahead towards the stage from either...

    Getting ready for a virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid

    There's another option I was thinking about. CdM to Medina de Rioseco, then head west through Villalpando and Granja de Moreruelo to join the Via de la Plata, and then via Ourense to Santiago. Has anybody done that or thought about it?

    Getting ready for a virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid

    Hey guys, I´m new on the forum but I finished the Norte from Aviles - Muxia about 3 weeks ago and I started walking the Camino de Madrid on my 2 free days per week at the end of September. I´m a long-time resident of Madrid, local hiking guide and proficient in Spanish. I actually wanted to...
