I walked the Madrid back in May and regret to advise that I struggled to get a daily coffee. The larger towns were OK, but many of the smaller villages were completely shut down. Buen camino
Thanks for all these tips, Tom. Much appreciated. I note your recommended detour. I will have to check my schedule and see if I can detour to San Ildefonso. I am having a rest day in Segovia so I do have some wriggle room. Thanks again, Mel
Thanks for that and Yes, I have been following this thread. I have booked the first few nights at Tres Cantos and with #rayyrosa, plus Segovia. I know which town/village I am aiming for each night, so perhaps it will reduce stress levels if I let them know I am coming and would like to stay.
Hello Brains Trust.
I am on the countdown for my Camino Madrid/San Salvador/Primitivo Combo starting from Madrid on Fri 19 May. Following this forum and a few groups on Facebook, there seems to be a lot more activity on the camino generally with people walking now and/or planning to walk. Is it...
Thanks for the heads up @Tincatinker about the waymarking from A Gandarra to Lavacola. That's my plan in mid-June and I didn't know if there would be signage. That gives me a bit more confidence walking this stage solo. Much appreciated.
