Hi K1,
I haven't been keeping up with the forum and so I missed your plans for another camino this year. Ole for you, and Buen Camino to you. I'm resting in Muxia tonight before heading back to Portugal tomorrow. I need some sun, beaches and warm weather after walking on so much tarmac on...
Hello pilgrims,
I just finished a retreat at The Little Fox House this morning and walked back to Muxia along the coast. I had a lovely time there taking short walks in the Galician village there, reading books from the house library, as well as talking with the hosts and petting the resident...
I am arriving in Lisbon on April 14th and will need to sleep some before starting the camino. I may look for a place near the Central Lisbon, to acclimate for a day or so. Then I may stay at the Pousada de Juventude if I can walk only a little the next day. Thanks to everyone for the...
I have just finished reading this book and liked it much better than Beatrice and Virgil and almost as much as the Life of Pi (I believe Yann Martel has published about 8 or 9 different books). The three stories in the book are all somehow connected to each other and to the village of Tuizelo...
Hola amigo
I stopped in Valsain, visiting Segovia today, sleeping in Zamarramala tonight.
Have fat, swollen feet, but yesterday I met some nice people, including my first perogrinas (from France) and a cute puppy at Fuenfria and I threw a snowball!
Tomorrow to Santa Maria la Real, if I can get...
Yes, K1! Right this minute, I was studying your descriptions and thinking of maybe Skype-ing ahead to that hostel, especially if there is no bed or heat in the polideportivo. A storm passed through last night and it has been quite cold when not moving..... Also, it will be a shorter walk...
Hola K1!
I had planned to stay at the house where you stayed last summer, but as you know I went on to Mataelpino. When I asked the nice woman at the tourist office about staying there, she told me that the fee to stay with Sra. Elo (not Ela, she corrected me several times) was 22€. This may...
Yes, K1! I started from Colmenar Viejo yesterday and covered 23km. And since my knee is not so happy, it will be nice to only cover the 13 km to Cercadilla tomorrow and probably on to Valsain the next day......si Dios quiere!

I had planned to stay in Manzanares last night, but the nice lady working at the tourist office there told me that it was likely that I could stay in Mataelpino. It was close to 8 km further (she said 5 km), but I am glad I pushed on. The place is brand spanking new and really well-equipped...
Thanks, K1! I already have questions for you about how to contact a hostel owner on the CdM by phone. I will attempt to figure out how to send you a private message.
Wow! Levante! Que Bravo! I hope you will take notes as you go and write about it in a forum. Our paths may cross this...
Yes, I arrive in Madrid on April 16, which is the only certain plan. From there I will take the CdM, but my specifics aren't clear yet. I booked my flight earlier that I had originally planned , and now am feeling somewhat unprepared.
I'm glad you finished your camino last summer. I was so...
And a question K1? I prefer to not walk on tarmac and I wonder if you can tell me your overall impression of Invierno?, because I think I
read that you walked much more on tarmac on its early part.
Thanks K1 for your response. But you did make it to Santiago? If I remember correctly, you had a deadline and it would have been a shame if
you made it that far and didn't get to Santiago....... Your descriptions are great and I believe they are helping me decide on my plan for a camino
in a...
Hello K1!
I am new to the forum and I have been reading your wonderful posts from last summer, but I can't find what happens to you after Day 36 (Mon, 28.7.2014)! Am I missing them somewhere?
I would really like to know what happens to you from that day on.........
Thanks
MA
