    Muxia to Madrid: Flights?

    Do you know if there is a flight from Muxia to Madrid or would we have to take the bus to Santiago and then fly to Madrid? Is it common that flights are less expensive than trains?

    SYates, my friends are shocked that I want to do the Camino and can't understand why I would go so faaaarrrr out of my comfort zone. I am doing it precisely because it is so far outside my comfort zone :) I am hoping to get over the hurdle of accommodations and let go of some of my fussiness...

    I am crazy-scared of accommodations that are not up to scratch. I am actually waking up at 2:30 am with panic attacks when I think of the places I will have to sleep and shower in. At home, I don't even share a bathroom with my husband and son... Any words of advice to help me (please, without...

    Oviedo to Santiago: too hilly for a 9-year old?

    Thank you for this! Did you walk with just your children or with another adult? I have now started worrying about what will happen to my son if something happens to me in the Camino. What did you do to plan for emergencies?

    Paradors along Camino Primitivo

    Thank you. We will be arriving in Oveido from Madrid, so the hotel suggestion in Oveido is very helpful.

    knee trouble

    I had my cartilage removed 17 years ago :( I had severe swelling for many years and then started taking glucosamine (Nature Made Triple Flex; 2 a day). I also use Rehbands. This helps me manage the swelling and be mobile.

    30 L (28L Actually) Pack big enough -- Or 40 L better ---

    Tia, I noticed you said you walked in April/May. That is when we are walking and the weather says it will be 10-15 C. Was that what you found the temp to be? Can you tell me what you packed for warmth? Walking and sleeping apparel? Thank you!

    Feeling quite dissapointed and haven't even started my way

    I have had the opposite happen to me. I was very nervous and not 100% sure I would do this. This forum and all the encouragement have made me more excited and eager for April, when I will start!

    Safest way to get money to a peregrino from US; not PayPal

    NicoZ, if it were that easy. His bank, Chase, has no branches where I live. Western union looks like a good option.

    Oviedo to Santiago: too hilly for a 9-year old?

    Just when I thought we had decided on a starting point, a post said that starting in Oviedo is very hilly and doing even 5 km a day is hard. I am going to walk form April 22-May 15, 2015 with my son, who will be nine when we start. We would like to end in Santiago and are thinking of walking...

    madrid to leon

    After reading even more and showing the routes to my son, we think the Porto to Santiago might be best for the ease and scenery. Suggestions and thoughts? There are so many choices and routes...

    14 days available, best route

    Thank you for this! I am doing the Camino with my son from April 21 - May 16, 2015. My (nine-in-April) son wants to walk along the coast, but the North Route is too hilly and uncertain. What was your route (stops) from Proto to Santiago? Also how long (if you did this) is the walk from Santiago...

    madrid to leon

    We are going to be in Madrid on April 21. Can we take a train from Madrid Barajas Airport to Leon? In Leon, does everyone recommend that we stay the night and begin the next morning? I will be with my son, who will just have turned 9.
