    Love on the camino.

    Thank you, MKalcolm for starting this thread! I shed some tears when reading these stories – so incredibly touching!!

    Spare time in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia???

    After finishing the Camino this June, my boyfriend and I plus another couple we met along the way drove to Salamanca before heading to Valencia. Salamanca is an incredibly beautiful city and I wish we planned for more than one night there!!! Their square is the most beautiful I saw in Spain...

    Frances alone or with boyfriend...

    Catching the hotel tren from Santiago de Compostela to Madri

    Hola Jen, I've gotten a similar error as well and I believe it's because you cannot purchase tickets more than 30 days in advance. I'll be traveling from Santiago to Madrid at the end of June so if this is the case, I'll need to wait till the end of May at the earliest to purchase. Hope that...
