    Is it safe to walk to the Airporto Hostel at midnight?

    Its in an industrial area just off the main road 10 minutes walk from the airport,quiet at night,cant imagine a taxi costing a great deal,theres a Metro station near by,but a taxi would be less hassle,if your not sure ask the owners advice, they are nice helpful ladies.

    Camino Madrid

    Maybe this is some use to those planning the camino Madrid, i have read that there are problems finding places to stay in Tres Cantos and Colmenar Viejo, i used Airbnb for my upcoming camino, it offers Information on private places to stay in both towns, some which are quite reasonable.
