Although a different destination, I am also leaving Madrid by train on Saturday, April 16th. I chose to purchase my ticket ahead since it is Easter weekend and I didn't want to be stuck. Also, if you can't book directly, I found Omio to have the least expensive booking fee. Some of the others...
I have had thoughts about the current situation as I leave home April 14th and begin my walk on April 19. But I have decided that if things escalate while I am walking and I cannot continue, then I will remove my Camino Hat and don my Volunteer Hat. It's a simple decision for me, but I have...

I have a very similar plan as you. I will be travelling 28 hours straight to get to Pamplona and I will arrive on Easter Friday. I have booked a room in Old Town for 3 nights so that I can enjoy some of Semana Santa, get caught up on my sleep (yes, I am aware it will be far from quiet) and get...
