    Cheapskates Guide to the beginning of the Camino De Madrid

    Just did the Madrid camino a few months ago. From Puerta del sol to Tres Cantos it was 27km according to my gps. I went to Colmenar Viejo that day and it was about 40km. If I did it again I would either stop in Tres Cantos on the first day or start from there. Next stage would be to Manzanares...

    Skii skiing in Canada sounds nice! I have one week in Austria next year. Well my plan was the Levante but I can't get enough time off work so next year I think Ill do the Aragones/frances/Invierno/Sanabres route.

    Haha! And I thought my six caminos in three years was extreme. Lucky you! I agree. The locals where really friendly and not at all tired of pilgrims. On the frances you sometimes feel a bit unwanted at some places. So, Sahagun tomorrow. Where too then?

    Its a lonely camino for sure but I hope you dont feel so lonely that it ruin it for you. Just wait until you walk down that hill into Sahagun and within one minute you'll see more pilgrims that you did on the whole Madrid route

    Hey! Glad you like it! I suppose you just left Segovia. I dont have my guide at the moment so I dont have all the names of the villages. I dont know in wich towns you plan on staying in. But I remember that the town after Santa Maria la real de nueva until Puente Duero there is no ATM. So get...

    Best camino so far!

    I was alone the whole time and this camino needs some planing. At some parts there are cafes/bars every five km but at some parts there are nothing for up to 30km. But I was caught in a vacuum, cos the hospitaleros told me there was a group of five-six pilgrims just one or two days ahead of me.

    Best camino so far!

    Well in that case I'm not sure you would like this one. On the camino Madrid, Madrid-Sahagun, I was alone all the time. Both while walking and at the albergues. On the other parts there where more pilgrims but the comeraderie was not there in that way. The frances is special in that way. I dont...

    Best camino so far!

    I just finished my sixt camino. I did the camino Madrid/camino San Salvador/camino del norte route. I can't praise this camino enough. Its the most diverse in landscape and culture I ever done. This is a camino that should see a lot more pilgrims!

    Backpack hipbelt pouches or pockets - any recommendations?

    I have a camera bag from think tank wich i love! You attache it to the waist strap of your backpack. At night you can transform it to a shoulderbag so you always keep it with you. Have a rain cover too. http://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/hubba-hubba-hiney

    VdlP....IMPORTANT: i was harassed on my 2nd day, near Guillena

    Well English is not my first language and I never ment the whole region of andalucia. It seems that just this village of Guillena has been trouble to some pilgrims through the years and that's what I meant.

    Oh no Mila! This is the reason I' ve been looking for company out of Seville. It seems like this region is packed with creeps. I'm so sorry to hear this but I'm sure the rest of you're camino will be wonderful. I did the frances at this time last year and it was so lovely! No chance you'll be...
