    Camino de Madrid and coffee

    I walked the Madrid back in May and regret to advise that I struggled to get a daily coffee. The larger towns were OK, but many of the smaller villages were completely shut down. Buen camino

    What weather to expect on Primitivo in May

    Thanks for the heads up @Tincatinker about the waymarking from A Gandarra to Lavacola. That's my plan in mid-June and I didn't know if there would be signage. That gives me a bit more confidence walking this stage solo. Much appreciated.

    Camino de Madrid Trip Report - March 2023

    Thanks so much for this. I set out on the Madrid in mid-May so I really appreciate the currency of your information. I did not know that albergue in Penaflor was closed, so I will have to look at my schedule again. Many thanks, Mel
