I have 30 days and I’ve decided that doing one continuous walk to Santiago interests me more at the moment. I arrive in Madrid on November 2nd and will either do the Madrid route or bus to Pamplona and do the French route. Interested in the Madrid at all? I arrive at 1:15pm and will likely start...
Thanks for the recommendations. I could spend a few days there exploring before heading out to another Camino if this one doesn't work out. Can you recommend a hostel or a decent place to stay? Is there a bus or shuttle from the airport to downtown Malaga? I have research fatigue trying to...
Sounds like a challenge but maybe a good first leg for my month on the Camino. How did you get to Granada? I can get to Malaga from London for $18... How many days/stages did you do?

Great advice, thank-you. I'll check out Gronze.com and download those apps. Packing some food when needed shouldn't be a problem. No sardines for me though :). I typically like to plan in everyday life but on the Camino I enjoy not planning and ending up where I end up. With Co-vid and these...
Hi all,
My first message on this board. I'm thinking of doing the Camino Madrid starting on Nov. 6. It's an easy/cheap connecting flight from London, Gatwick (traveling from Calgary) and it looks like a great walk. I'm prepared for any hiking/walking difficulty or weather but I'd prefer not to...
