A couple days ago I started the Camino Madrid from Segovia. Some of you may recall that I posted a few months ago looking for a relatively flat Camino to test out my body to find out if I could make another try on the Camino Frances where I had been previously defeated by shin splints.

Hi fellow pilgrims,
Not sure if this topic has been discussed here. I started walking the Camino de Madrid today, and am staying overnight at the Acogida en la Parroquia de Santa Teresa de Jesus in Tres Cantos. I'm the only pilgrim here, and haven't met any other pilgrims today. Nice place...
Started yesterday in Madrid and walked to Tres Cantos. I get now why people say take the train to Tres Cantos and start there. Although I like Madrid a lot, walking so many miles on concrete and then still having to walk along the freeway for hours wasn’t such a great experience. I got my...

She started singing at 8pm and so I guess that she...
Day Zero:

Started my Camino from Tres Cantos this morning. If you’re using the Buen Camino app to navigate out of Tres Cantos, the map did something weird after crossing the highway. But the yellow arrows will steer you right.
Be aware if you pick up your credential at the Church of Santiago and John...
