    Storage for valuables in Madrid (and general Madrid/Ucles advice)

    Hi all, With Covid-19 and life, I had to postponed a longer walk, but I might be able to fit the 144km of Camino Ucles in my non-camino travel. The recommended 8 days is something I can have at my disposal. However, since I'm arriving on non-camino travel, I'd have "tons" of valuable equipment...

    Starting from Madrid - where would you go through?

    WOW, thank you so much! Now I think I have 2 preferred options to choose from - your suggestion and the GR14 one suggested above. The GR14 one I think would be slightly shorter.

    Starting from Madrid - where would you go through?

    Oh, I get it. Now according to Gronze there's the Parish place (parish places would always be my preferred option). I don't mind paying slightly more than the few euros I payed in CF. That's life :) Generally, I dislike the idea of taking public transport, even if I'm back to the same spot. But...

    Alvin, your video made my legs yearn for walking and my mind day-dream of yellow arrows ! Thanks !!

    Starting from Madrid - where would you go through?

    Thanks! I'll need to face the dust then, as September is the only time I'll have in 2021. Hopefully the Covid-19 situation would also improve by then too. I see that Tres Cantos has a Parish Pilgrim Albergue "Santa Teresa de Jesús" and also an Municipal (that is temporarily closed) - why do...

    Starting from Madrid - where would you go through?

    Wow, this is amazing! It seems like this should be the most obvious way to walk from Madrid - it's almost the most "direct" one that's for sure! Should I find pilgrim's accommodation in this "shortcut"? With Gronze I see in Puente de Duero and Zamora, but nothing in Castronuño, Toro and...

    Starting from Madrid - where would you go through?

    Hi pilgrims, I want to start walking on Camino de Madrid circa beginning of September (Don't have my airplane tickets yet, but somewhere around the 5th-7th I think?) I want to walk all the way to Santiago (not only Sahagun). I also want to minimize my time on CF. Options: - CF for...

    September in Via de la Plata?

    Thanks you all! For now Madrid seems like my preferred way, as vdlp is too hot, and The Norte I am slightly less interested in (too crowded?), and I walked most of the way from Lisbon already. I might take the coastal Camino Portuguese, or de Madrid. We'll see :-) PS I LOVE the Portuguese people!!!

    September in Via de la Plata?

    Thanks. I've walked "against-traffic" before and it wasn't so good for me. Although vdlp doesn't have such huge traffic as I understand :) I really prefer to walk towards Santiago. Another option is to walk to Rome - but I don't think I'm ready for that yet. What do you think of Madrid as a...

    September in Via de la Plata?

    Thanks for your inputs. I think mid September is the latest I could push my start date. I don't enjoy tremendous heat although coming from warm-ish climate. Should I think of a different path? Any recommendations? Generally I also want to encounter some pilgrims but really don't want the traffic...

    September in Via de la Plata?

    Hi, I have walked the french way before and loved it truly. I want to walk again, beginning around September 1st. This time I'm thinking of via de la plata. Is this a good time to start? Is this a recommend way? I have roughly 1.5 months, maybe 2 months if I stretch it. I would love to hear your...

    Hi, I will be starting my second camino in Lourdes next week (7 years has passed since the first!). Which way do you recommend - piemont (lourdes -> saint jean -> frances), or go with Aragones and join frances in puente la riene? On my first, I walked from sjpdp to santiago on frances...
