    B & B in Madrid + which station to pamplona

    Of course, Madrid has a big, fast, secure, modern subway, in my opinion one of the best in the world! After visiting the subway in cities like New York, London, Paris, Milan, etc ... I can say, it's really great! The best choice to go from the airport to any bus station, touristic place, etc...

    First time walker also from South Africa

    Well, Even living in Madrid, I don't recommend the Camino de Madrid because you would need three weeks to walk it. And, there's more historic reasons to walk each of the others that you suggest. The Camino Primitivo is the first that King Alfonso II did in 829 to visit the Santiago Tomb. He...

    Couples on the Camino?

    Hi, There's a lot of albergues with "couples of beds", not for couples but where you can sleep one beside the other. And, there's some albergues where some rooms has just two beds: For example, Salamanca, Astorga (in times it was a convent) or the new albergue in Herbón, near Padron. I hope...

    girona/barcelona-monserrat

    Hi, No albergues in that section. It was marked by the Generalitat, not by the associations, so the way is a turistic way, not so Camino de Santiago as it was really possible. Buen Camino, Javier Martin Madrid, Spain.

    will it be cold by mid November?

    Hi, In my opinion you will meet a few pilgrims everyday, you will never walk alone (like the Liverpool players, jeje). But, I'm not sure about the idea of walking with a 12 years old child on autumn. I cant talk about. Buen Camino, anyway Javier Martin Madrid, Spain.

    Hola from Alhama de Murcia

    It's absolutely marked. From Lorca, even (where lives a pilgrim friend of mine, jeje). There's a way to join the Camino del Sureste from Alicante, from there to Albacete, etc. I don't know exactly where, but I can ask about if you need it. The Camino de Levante from Valencia is recent, the...

    Winter: A viable option?

    Check everyday the albergues for the next journey. May be some of them are closed. Be ready for snow. And, very, very careful about yourself if you decide to walk St. Jean-Roncesvalles. May be dangerous if the weather is not good. Buen Camino, enjoy it. Javier Martin Madrid, Spain.

    Camino del Norte or Camino Frances?!

    Pips, I've walked several times he Camino, many times every year I walk for a weekend wherever, and having some friends who are working as hospitaleros, etc, I've never heard about security problems in the Camino. Just the same problems than in your city or even less. So, don't worry about...

    Looking for a group or people to join on the camino de santi

    The most difficult is to walk alone!! And, youi don't know if your new group walks at your rithm or speed, if they like to remain in the same places ... During the Camino you will meet your more appropiate partners to walk. Buen Camino, Javier Martin Madrid, Spain.

    My first camino

    Hi, Liz, Mi opinion is, when you make longer walks don't forget to take a backpack with 5 kg. inside to let your back, legs and ankles to be used to an upper weight. Most future pilgrims forget it. Buen Camino, good training, Javier Martin Madrid, Spain.
