Take the Frances - you know your family better than anyone; but in your place I’d want more infrastructure than the C de Madrid offers.
Stating the bleedin’ obvious as usual: it’s going to be rather warm in Spain in July and no matter how accustomed your 4-year old is to walking, 15k/day is a...
I seriously think ‘we’ ought to cease replying with any degree of certainty to this interminable question.
I try (and often fail) to only give advice of which I am certain, erring on the side of caution- cf the passport photocopy question - but on the topic of poles, all one can offer is...
Correos do bag storage also. Check the opening hours of wherever you store it with respect to your intended collection time and day.

Another splendid example of the real value of this forum to those of us for whom a Camino is a regular event. A detailed journal full of practical information.
Once you’ve got the ‘can I take my poles in hand luggage’ and ‘should I really book ahead if I want three adjoining private rooms, a...
Well; if it were me I’d let you on - but I’m unlikely to be on duty for a variety of reasons.
It’s an expensive experiment if you’re going to chance it and the view of whoever you ask - even at the airport, and most certainly on the internet - may differ from the staff on the day. Of all the...
Perhaps inappropriately I recall an interview with an American smuggler operating in South America - he flew a tiny light aircraft which was often intercepted by military jets. The jets (I know nothing about the subject) have to maintain some set speed to stay airborne.
The quote that sticks...
Can I reinforce the ‘buy early’ message for RENFE - I’ve often advised that on here.
I’v just got an unexpected week free and, naturally, am heading to Spain to scout out the C. De Ebro around Zaragoza; flying into Barcelona. Usually I’d be reserving travel as soon as it’s available.
