    10 day Camino de Madrid - Stages and reflections

    I just finished the Camino de Madrid yesterday and thought I'd share my stage info for anyone else who is looking at doing it in 10 days. The mileage and times below include bathroom breaks but NOT stops at cafes or sightseeing. My total travel time was 1-2 hours more than what is listed. Day...

    Albergue in Grajal de Campos

    I used the Johnny Walker guide for my just completed CdM. I found it to be an excellent resource, but noticed that it had no information on the albergue in Grajal de Campos. This is a shame, because it was the neatest place I stayed on my trip. The albergue is located behind the unmarked glass...

    Segovia to Ane

    I just completed Day 3 of my Camino de Madrid, and am absolutely knackered after the mountain crossing from Cercedilla. It turns out that Roman roads are beautiful to look at, but hard to walk on. :) That said, I'm thinking of taking a rest day tomorrow by stopping in Ane- a short 21km from...

    Possible broken foot - 8 days till departure

    I'm 8 days out from my attempt at a quick (21 days) CdM/Salvador/Primitivo and have everything ready to go. However, last night I pulled out one of my dresser drawers too quickly and it fell on to the top of my foot. Said foot is now swollen, bruised, and I can't lift my big toe. I suspect a...

    Is anyone else walking the Madrid in late May/early June?

    Out of curiosity, is anyone else planning on walking the Madrid in the next month and a half or so? I am starting from Tres Cantos on May 30 and hope to run into a few people during my trek.

    40-50km/day stages for Camino Madrid, Portugal, or Frances?

    I did Leon to Santiago in 10 days about 2 years ago and am heading back this summer (Starting June 6) to try my hand at a full route - either the Camino Madrid, Portugal, or the Frances from Pamplona or Roncavalles. I have 16 days in which to do so. Has anyone done one of these routes averaging...

    Where to get a passport in Leon?

    I arrived in the city last night and am hoping to get a passport before I start walking at around 8am. Does anyone know where I can get one this early? The next stop will be Hospital de Orbigo

    Bed Bugs - Problem this time of year?

    I've been reading a lot of the equipment threads as I prepare for my departure tomorrow, and I'm a bit worried about all of the references I see to bed bugs. Almost everyone mentions that you should coat your backpack and sleeping bag with permethrin, but that is something I am unable to get...

    Last minute decision to walk the Camino

    I'm sure many of you have seen my numerous threads over the past few days, as I've tried to get as much information as possible before setting out on my journey. Hiking the camino has always been on my bucket list, but I had resigned myself to not being able to do it until at least 2017 due to...

    Bus from Madrid Aeropuerto T4 to Leon?

    My flight arrives in T4S at 1:30pm and the bus to Leon departs from the T4 station at 2:45pm. Assuming that I am not checking luggage, do you think that I will have enough time to deboard (I'm at the front of the plane), clear immigration, and get to the terminal? Thank you all for your help so...

    Salamanca to Santiago in 11 days?

    Is it reasonable to expect to be able to complete the distance from Salamanca to Santiago in 11 days? I am a fast hiker and will be traveling by myself. I don't mind getting on a bus back to Madrid before finishing, if need be. I ask because I am trying to decide between this and the Camino...

    Late March - Madrid to Sahagún?

    I will be beginning my first camino next Saturday, March 21st, and am still unsure as to whether or not to do the Camino de Madrid from Madrid to Sahagún or the Camino Frances from Leon to Santiago. The Camino de Madrid would certainly be easier for me logistically, since I could just start...
