    CdM in Feb?

    I will confirm everything that has been said so far. There are not going to be many other pilgrims on the Madrid in February. And it is likely that the mountain pass will be un-walkable, which would be a shame. Even in good conditions, it is one of the most difficult stages on any Camino, and so...

    Medina de Rioseco - reopening of convent

    Well now, does this mean we need to walk this beautiful Camino again? Would love to stay in the old place and meet the wonderful folks giving it another go. Great news.

    E and L on the Madrid

    Camino Madrid is beautiful. Walked it in April. See our blog starting here, and PM with any questions: http://ourboatleavestheharbor.blogspot.com/2018/04/day-1-tres-cantos.html

    Camino de Madrid April 5, 2018

    We returned to Cercedilla and did the mountain pass today. It is possible, but we walked on top of deep, old snow for 2 or 3 kilometers. No other pilgrims, two local hikers.

    Camino de Madrid April 5, 2018

    About 10 km past Alcazarén you come to a highway. If you follow the arrows, they take you across the river and then north. After about 3 km you have to cross a large stream. In dry times there is a low bridge, but right now the water is about 1 foot deep flowing over the bridge, and about 12...

    About the fork on the Camino about 8 km before Alcazarén. As of today the sandy roads on the right hand fork are perfect. It is definitely shorter to go right, and you'd have a good bit of shade too.

    Camino de Madrid April 5, 2018

    From Añe to Santa Maria la Real. Well marked, but a tough 11 km in a freezing, wind blown rain. The albergue does not open until 1pm, so we are waiting in the medical clinic behind the church. Warm and dry. Several shops here, but nothing in Añe or along the way this morning. We intended on a...

    Blessings Heather, maybe we cross paths in the future. We continue on, although today was tough.

    The police in Cercedilla told us there is 0.5 meters of snow on the pass, so we caught the 1:30 pm train to Segovia. That city is amazing. Pictures on the blog. Cool wet spring.

    Yes, during very wet periods I'd say the bike path is best, but June should be dry.

    My blogger app keeps crashing also. For this trip I am using the online blogger website, but it is not user friendly at all. I was very frustrated this afternoon trying to get the format correct. You can see the pictures are different sizes for the last two days.

    Camino de Madrid April 5, 2018

    We're two short days out of Madrid. We have really appreciated all of the recent updates from @OzAnnie and others who have commented on her thread. I'll be blogging at ourboatleavestheharbor.blogspot when Wi-Fi is adequate. If we see something along the way that seems critical, we'll try to post...

    Camino de Madrid

    @Texas Bill , we have just begun the CM. You can follow along on our blog www.ourboatleavestheharbor.blogspot.com. You can see the stream between Tres Cantos and Colmenar Viego was manageable today, but it's flow changes with the rain. Buen Camino.

    OzAnnie's Camino de Madrid -- March 2018

    @OzAnnie thank you for the updates. We've found the needle and thread the best for blisters, but I know some people don't think it is a good idea, because of infection. We carry a very small alcohol disinfectant with us for the needle and thread. Hopefully they will begin to heal soon. A short...

    OzAnnie's Camino de Madrid -- March 2018

    @OzAnnie - thank you so much for the updates. We hope to leave Madrid on April 5. We'll be taking it slow, and enjoying the beautiful terrain. The forecast still has a bit more moisture ahead, but we are hoping the mountain pass will be walkable by the time we get there. Buen Camino, and we will...

    Camino de Madrid March 2018

    Like "ruimsig", it would be great to see updates on trail conditions. The high percentage of "dirt track" on the CM make it appealing, but with all the rain, has it turned into a nightmare? Thanks!
