I hear you !!
No fun … working around delays and connections. I’m flying from Oz to USA tomorrow and have had to spend hrs with my flight centre Angel getting me onto a flight leaving 8 hrs later that allows enough time for connecting flight. 🙏🙏.
You can plan in detail but the airlines...
Hi @JustJack
I’m all for a nice rest before heading home too - especially as weather should be getting nice there.
But you say that one of the reasons for the 5 day plan is that (private) accommodation in sdc is too expensive. Have you checked with San Martin Pinario ? The private single...
Hi
You might contact @Kirkie from this forum.
It is my understanding that there is a Camino Information Centre, situated in St James's church, Dublin.
Kirkie has written in a previous thread:
“There is a small side chapel, and some members come each time, other people are random. There is...
Hi @elke888
That was some loooong haul to Sevilla.
I think you’ll be surprised after you’ve had a decent sleep. I find that the jet lag really kicks in on return from Spain.
Buen camino.
You’re seeing a method of pruning called ‘pollarding’
There was a thread about this some years ago. Just do a search for pollarding.
Some of the places you walk through on camino have plazas with many trees pollarded - to allow sunlight in winter and give good shade in summer once the...

Wow -I’m lost for words. You have given it everything.
I think this is the safest way. I’m like you- I’d prefer to carry my own pack if possible but it’s more important for you I think., to give your poor body some help … don’t over stress it this camino. I see that you are very strong and...
Usually on booking dot com .. there is an option on the reservation to ask a question / directed to the accommodation booked.
I’d pose your question to them.
So good to read this and must say - that it is obvious reading your posts that you have relaxed and are really ‘getting it’
So good to hear about your friend Teresa .
Buen camino
@psalmone1
Me too- (I haven’t read all the responses etc).
I rarely see threads about corns on here
In 2016 I had started Le Puy route with intention of walking from Le Puy to Santiago de Compostela …. However ., although I’d never had corns in my life before … I developed 2 corns inside...
I enjoy a nice ‘cuppa tea’ with milk too but I’ve found it often difficult to order at a bar in Spain; HOWEVER…. whilst walking with friends last year …. One of them was familiar with what was available and had no problem at all asking and receiving tea (but without milk)…. It’s a refreshing...
Hi @Thornley
This poll is a bit like watching the Melbourne cup 🐎🐎🐎. (over a longer duration !) I keep checking to see who is winning. 🤣🤣🤣
We were doing well at the beginning , but the 60’s group has pulled ahead strongly now. .
Pics of the changes around Atocha train station. (Mentioned above but I couldn’t fit the extra pics there. ). Also shows the airport bus stop at Atocha - bus 203 ; and last night a little wander around SOL after the rain abated … right beside my accommodation a few doors down from Puerta del...
…..take #3….
Tuesday 9th. I fly out late tonight - so I’m in your situation.
How I love Madrid. The sun is out - a beautiful day. So much to absorb.
I’ve ambled all over today. I checked out exactly where the airport bus stop was at Atocha. A note for anyone arriving or departing...
I’ll bet you amazed yourself. I’ve often ‘been there’ and thought ‘ how can I walk a stage tomorrow without any sleep ?’ But I somehow find the energy next day. I think the fact that we are ‘resting’ our bodies works the magic.
I agree with @J Willhaus though… it’s lovely to have a private...
