Thank you for the help Knaga!! My blisters are getting better. I took a day of rest and walked 2 days before buyng a pair of Tevas in Sarria - best purchase! I highly recommend to anyone reading who is preparing for their camino to bring a good pair of Teva-type sandals so your feet can rest...

Hi all
Looking for advice: wondering what is the best way to get from Madrid to Leon. Sounds like both bus and train are options. Just wondering what is the least complicated method.
I believe we have decided on dates: Leave Atlanta, GA on May 31 to arrive in Madrid on June 1. We will do some sightseeing in either Madrid or Leon as well as adjust to time change and aim to start walking from Leon by June 3rd. That is only 18 weeks away which is thrilling and a wee bit...
