    Downtown Madrid to Pamplona

    Exit the airport, catch the Airport express bus ( about 6E cash pay on bus). It goes to Madrid . Stay on until it reaches Atocha train/bus station. Exit , cross the street. You are standing facing the Sophia Reina . It is beside the big white Hotel Medio Dia. Behind it is a hotel called Sleep in...

    most efficient travel from Madrid airport to Burgos

    Bus . In 2018, I caught the ALSA bus from Madrid airport T4 to Burgos. It was fast, cheap, clean and I could doze after a red eye flight. There is an Albergue/ Hostal exactly beside the Burgos bus station that I'd booked that's just a couple minutes walk over the foot bridge into the Cathedral...

    Planning to walk from Astorga solo, advice please!

    I'm over 60, walked the route three times, inc once from Astorga. I flew into Madrid T1, caught the free airport shuttle to T4, and then bought a bus ticket there at the ALSA counter by the exit. (Although I now recommend buying it prior online.) Caught the ALSA bus from T4 there to Astorga. The...

    Hello, buenas ........... The Way with my dog?

    Better get good insurance then. A couple on my 1st Camino were stuck for days with their ill dog . The vet was many miles away , causing several taxi trips to the city while the dog remained in the animal hospital. And when I last saw them at that point the bill he racked up was over $300...

    Camino Frances a Second Time

    My career was in Education and could only do lengthy travel during summer break. Other summers I traveled to other places. The Camino kept calling to me, however, and once retired I could do the CF slowly, with great enjoyment, in September/Oct.. Back in '07 and '09 cell phones were nearly...

    Camino Frances a Second Time

    As a now middle-aged retired person, I've been reading all the above comments with interest. I walked the CF in '07, '09, and '18 and experienced so many different groups, foreign , and solo people---good, interesting, odd, absorbed, happy, loud, issues, etc. And whenever a group, or person...

    To those on the Frances now...

    I stayed in La Finca last Sept. & loved it! The beds are separate & private. Great menu and free washer. I had the best sleep in a month there.

    The unpredictable ends of my Camino!

    I walked faster on my first 2 Caminos---of course I was 10 yrs younger then. I was a lot slower last Sept. Everyone I ever met was on their own journey. So good luck and walk on AndyTomas!

    Madrid to Burgos

    Last Sept., I took the free shuttle from T1 to T4, stood in line, and bought a bus ticket to Burgos from the desk kiosk. You board the bus outside the exit door. It was quite comfy and went directly to the Burgos bus station. I had a pleasant 2 night stay at the Burgos Hostal , which is over the...

    2nd Camino anxiety and fear I'll compare everything to the first time!

    I understand what you mean. I walked from SJPP in '07 with another person. In '09 I walked solo. Two completely different , but wonderful, experiences. (Although I admit enjoying the second Camino more at my own pace.) I tried to stay in different places and stopped at different villages...

    Question re using my tablet

    Thank you everyone! I'm actually proficient using my home technology , just wondering about my usage in Spain. Technology has improved since I last walked the CF in '07 and '09.

    Question re using my tablet

    This may be a silly question , but bear with me I'm over 60 :oops:…..I plan to take my tablet on the CF (leaving Sept.2nd) and use it to take a daily picture to post to my Facebook family. Question: do I need to buy something in Spain (similar to a new SIM card for a phone) for the tablet? Or...

    Class of 2018

    Hi. I walked the Camino Frances in July '07 and again in July '09. Life and living got in the way, but I'm finally hitting the trail once more on Sept.3rd in Burgos and will walk until I run out of time on Sept.26th. Getting more excited daily and trying to be ruthless and cull the backpack...

    Introduction

    I'm still reading & dreaming about doing the Camino in July. Hoping to start in Roncesvalles. After reading the replies re 'ladies of a certain age' and realizing I'm hitting a milestone year , I found a major concern answered. Namely about travelling alone safely. However, any other Canadian...
