    Madrid Airport

    My Delta flight lands Sunday at 8:45. The bus to Astorga leaves T4 at 10:00. The last time I flew into Madrid we landed about 40 minutes early and it took less that 30 minutes to clear customs. Is there anyone that has been there in the last couple of weeks that could give me some idea about...

    Camino Ingles in 3 days?

    I will be a volunteer in Ponferrada and need to walk a couple of stages into Sarria, that I missed in 2017 due to a minor injury. After that I have about 3 free days before heading to Madrid for a flight home. Could I do the Ingles in 3 days, not sure. Just thinking out loud.

    Bus from Madrid Airport

    Does anyone know the geography of the airport and where to get a bus to estacion sur. I was told that there are frequent busses through the day. Any suggestions will be helpful. Also, how long to clear passport control?

    Bus from Madrid to Ponferrada

    I have volunteered to work in the Albergue in Ponferrada the first half of June. I will fly from Atlanta to Madrid and hopefully catch a bus to Ponferrada. I have tried for about 2 hours to find a bus or train and keep hitting a wall. Not sure what is wrong but I am about to give up and wait...

    From USA to St Jean Pied de Port

    I have a friend that was preparing to walk the Camino Frances. She asked me several questions and then asked how to get from Atlanta to the starting place (which, for her was St Jean Pied de Port). I sent her an email with suggestions for the first couple of days. I am posting it here in the...

    People on the Camino Frances

    I walked into Santiago on June 22, 2017, after leaving SJPDP on May 18,2017. I made over 2000 photos along the way. I came back to the USA on June 28 and started a two week process of digesting what I had done and looking at the photos. I made a serious mistake. I took pictures of mountains...

    Burgos

    I am in Burgos today. I walked in yesterday and took a rest day so that I could look around. The Cathedral was worth the day. I found that there were great markings in places and then there were places where I had t ask for help. I am out by the university and will leave around 5:45 in the...

    LIVE from the Camino Is it all hills??

    I'm only 4 days in so things should improve as in gain strength, but the long hills both up and down walking on loose stones of varying sizes, have about killed my feet and ankles. The most enjoyable walk so far was the walk beside a river before Pamplona. That was great. Have not had a bad meal...

    A few more Questions

    Thank you to everyone who provided answers to my earlier posting. The answers about food were most interesting. I am afraid that I might try to eat my way across Spain. I have a few more questions for you more experienced pilgrims. I am booked for two nights at St Jean Pied de Port. I have...

    A few questions about life on the Camino Frances

    As May 18 gets closer, I am thinking about all sorts of things that I don't know. Those of you that have been there may think some of these are trivial, but I would like to fit in and not make stupid mistakes. 1) Most places where I drink coffee have free refills and many offer a go cup when...

    Madrid 16, May 2017

    I will arrive in Madrid on 16 May, 2017 from Atlanta. I am thinking about flying to Biarritz the same day and doing a ride share to SJPDP. I do have a few questions. How long does it take to clear customs in Madrid? I will only have a 18 lb backpack which I plan to take in the cabin rather than...
