    Virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid - Detailed planning

    I agree with Laurie. We stopped off for two nights and a rest day in Valladolid and were very happy to have done so. (Someone on the Forum -- perhaps Laurie -- had mentioned it as a pleasant place to spend some time). It is not a touristy city at all which was refreshing after Segovia...

    If you have walked the Camino de Madrid

    We attended Sunday mass at the Iglesia de San Juan y Santiago and the following morning started walking from Fuencarral.

    Starting Camino Del Norte on Tuesday, 29th June 2021

    I first had fabada in the albergue at Buendeños on the Camino del Salvador. Altogether my favorite Camino meal. Perfect for hungry cold pilgrims.

    Starting out....

    Funny how we are all so different. The communal dinner was my favourite part of my overnight at Orrison.

    After seeing this thread yesterday I too went looking. Sadly Ivar was sold out but I was able to find it on Abebooks. I am looking forward to reading it.

    Ass Pads - A Serious Topic!

    In my long ago girl guiding days we called those “sit upons.” I was loaned one part way through my Frances walk and found it useful so purchased one for my next Caminos. Took an extremely light weight one which didn’t take up much room but proved great especially for the picnic lunches on rough...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD A year ago today

    Thank you for providing this perspective, Rebekah. It is good to hear from someone who is actually living the experience. I feel too like I can visualize your community after reading your book, A Furnace Full of God. What a beautiful piece of writing.

    FRM I think you did a very good job of making it clear. I wonder too what has happened to the people living along the Way.

    My (leisurely) stages on the Camino de Madrid

    My (leisurely) stages on the Camino de Madrid

    “The albergue system is excellent (except for the black hole at the beginning between Madrid and Manzanares...” The dearth of albergues between Madrid and Manzanares is made up for by the gorgeous scenery. That was my favorite bit. Buen Camino!

    Madrid / Salvador / Primitivo or the Frances from St Jean

    I love that image, Laurie. Spinning around and shouting out your thanks of joy. I remember doing exactly that alone on a mountain top on the Frances. Such a euphoric moment.

    Madrid / Salvador / Primitivo or the Frances from St Jean

    I would be cautious of walking the Madrid in July -- north of Segovia the terrain is very exposed with little shelter from the sun. There are two or three days of intermittant pine forests but those don't last once you hit the Meseta. The terrain between Madrid and Cercedilla on the south side...
