    Places to stay in Padron.

    I liked the muni. Nice location and a comfortable atmosphere.

    Has anyone used DuoLingo to learn Spanish?

    I've used Duolingo for German, in conjunction with a 10 week course of evening classes, and have found it really helpful.

    Viajando de Madrid a Leon

    Hola, bienvenido al foro. Cogería el autobus directamente desde Barajas. Más cómodo y fácil sin deber cambiar trenes.

    Madrid to Burgos by bus or by train?

    Admittedly I haven't been there in 10 years, but I found Avda de las Americas an awful, airless place to have to wait for a bus. Given the choice I'd definitely get the bus from the airport.

    This one is for gentlemen only.

    Hi Nathanael, you'll probably have more luck if you post your question about Lourdes in a new thread.

    Camino del Madrid directly from the airport?

    Thanks Laurie. Nothing is booked yet (don't even know when it'll be). If I fly with Ryanair it'll be T1 but it's easy enough to get the bus round to T4.

    Camino del Madrid directly from the airport?

    I'm considering walking part of a Camino later this year and like what I've read about the CdM and the solitude and good infrastructure. I don't have much time off available so want to start walking straight away. My question is this... I believe if I were to take the metro from Barajas airport...

    Rest days between Burgos and Santiago

    Molinaseca is a great place for a rest day. No sightseeing, just relax by the river with a bottle of wine.

    Santiago Syndrome?

    A few posts have been edited or deleted from this thread as they were off topic. A friendly reminder might be timely here to keep to the subject, and any other interactions might be best kept to PMs.

    Do I need to bring an inflatable mattress on the Camino

    No mattress necessary but I always took my own pillow case. The pillows provided aren't always... fresh ... shall we say, and if all else fails you can stuff it full of clothes.

    Santiago Syndrome?

    That's interesting, thanks for sharing this. I'd never heard of Jerusalem Syndrome.

    Possibility of new requirements for a Compostela

    Rather than a requirement for a minimum distance what about a minimum time spent on the pilgrimage? Super fit pilgrims could cover 100km in under 3 days which does not leave time for much contemplation. A minimum time period (say 5 nights) would also remove the distance barrier for those less...

    swimming togs or no?

    I say do it. They barely weigh anything, dry quickly and could double up as underwear or shorts.
