    Coastal route from odemira

    Thanks heaps for the information you have given henri. Is there any off road path in the nature area near odemira? I have a tent - is it possible to walk between camping places? Thanks again Claire

    Can't Stop Worrying! Solo Female!

    I like the idea of leaving from my arrival point, but I think I will be worried about the isolation on the way from Madrid regarding safety. It's probably easier to follow the Frances where I will be in the company of others, but I am not too social when I am walking.

    Can't Stop Worrying! Solo Female!

    All this talk of flashers cornering women on lonely paths has made me change my plans from walking the Madrid route to taking the bus to Burgos and just going for the Frances. Not my first preference but will probably save me a lot of unnecessary worry.

    Accommodation Over Semana Santa

    I have a hostel booked in Madrid for my arrival on Thursday night, but as I'm not exactly sure how far I'll get each day I'm reluctant to book accommodation along the route ahead of time. Would the accommodation along the first four stages of the walk potentially be booked out over Semana...

    Far out, this is a semi-regular occurrence? I'm heading out on the Madrid route next week without poles... maybe I should have a quick squiz for basic self defense moves... don't know what I'd do if that happened to me! Luckily (or unluckily?) there are not many roads on the Madrid route...

    Can't Stop Worrying! Solo Female!

    Hey Lucy, I'm right there with you! I'll be walking the Madrid route next week which is a lot lonelier than the Frances, and I'm having serious doubts about being able to sleep at night wondering if anyone is going to wander into the albergue. Maybe we should make a deal to let people here...

    How does one pay for accommodation and food etc along the way? Are there ATMs in the villages? Or only in the big cities?

    Madrid To Santiago In 28 Days?

    I'm planning to pick up my credencial in Madrid on the 14th April and need to be back in Madrid by the 13th May. It's my first camino and my first time to Spain. Is it likely to be able to make the Camino de Madrid and the Camino Frances from Sahagun in 28 days? I'm a 31 year old woman in...

    Where To Collect Passport In Madrid?

    Thanks Johnnie :) Is it absolutely necessary to have one of these guides? Is there only one or are there different versions available?

    Where To Collect Passport In Madrid?

    Great thanks! The website seems to indicate that they are available to provide the credencial even during services, so hopefully Good Friday will not deter them... and I can start right from there, wonderful :) Is the blessing a necessary part of the pilgrimage? I'd love to receive it but as...

    Where To Collect Passport In Madrid?

    Thanks Alan. I'll be arriving the evening before Good Friday, so I guess it's possible that the tourist offices will be closed? Is it likely that the church would still be issuing the passport? I'm not able to find it on Google Maps.

    Where To Collect Passport In Madrid?

    Sorry if this has been asked previously but the search function seems not to be working. Where does one collect the pilgrims passport in Madrid? Is the tourist centre or whatever able to assist with information regarding the route?
