    Sleeping Pods - Madrid airport?

    That’s an excellent strategy. I will check now to see if I can book the room for one extra night in advance.

    Sleeping Pods - Madrid airport?

    My flight to Spain will arrive at MAD Barajas airport at 6:30am. However my accommodations in Madrid will not be available for check-in until 3pm! No early check-ins. I will be a wreck after crossing 6 time zones so I have wondered about renting a sleeping pod at the airport for a few hours...

    Baggage Transfer

    I also prefer CaminoFacil. I have been using them for luggage transfers and for taxi service for the past eight years and there has never been even one mistake.

    Camino training - now having lateral foot pain

    This might be a long shot: Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM). I have used it to heal foot injuries before a big hike. Google it. You need to find a doctor or physical therapist who has the equipment and is trained to use it. Good luck.

    A secular Camino?

    I am a secular Camino hiker but I don’t think that anyone even knows or cares.

    Early Departure Flight @ Madrid (Close Accommodation)

    I stay at one of the airport hotels and take a taxi to the terminal if the shuttle is not running yet.

    Where do you carry your valuables?

    I carry valuables in zipped cargo pockets and a small front- facing waist pack with shoulder straps. I also stash a small amount of cash in my day pack just in case.

    Luggage service with most locations?

    My preferred luggage service company is CaminoFacil. I have used them many times over the past six years and they have never screwed up even once.

    Tipping

    It’s not usually expected but we always tip generously. The Spanish people have been hurt badly by the epidemic. Help them to recover by tipping generously. It’s MUCH appreciated.

    heel pain

    It sounds like plantar fasciitis. Go see a good podiatrist.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Current Covid impacts on the Camino?? Input from current walkers appreciated!

    Why would that matter to the Spanish authorities?

    Hmmm. That is interesting. Thanks for letting me know. Somebody else told me that I should let sleeping dogs lie. 🤪

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Current Covid impacts on the Camino?? Input from current walkers appreciated!

    SpTH Document. I arrived in Madrid on 20 April after passing through three major airports (IAD, CDG and MAD) where no one inquired about my QR code! And I had agonized for weeks about filling it out correctly, getting the QR code issued and having it accepted at the port of entry. What...

    Luggage Transport Service on the Camino Frances from St Jean Pied de Port

    I have used CaminoFacil four different years and never experienced even one little problem. Highly recommended.

    Private room recommendations between Carrion de los Condes and Leon on the Meseta

    I have noticed that the hotels are already booked too. Keep trying on Bookings.com and Hotels. com on a day-by-day basis. The hotels don’t release all of the available rooms at once. Or try contacting the hotels directly. Plus there will be cancelations which will make rooms available too. Just...
