Stay the course. I have walked the Camino Madrid and loved it. It was quiet and very peaceful. I do not speak Spanish and I had no problem getting hostels along the way. I also booked places up to Segovia. The rest of the way, hostels should be easy to get. My plan is to again walk the Camino...
I did the Madrid Camino in May 2019 and loved it. (See my YouTube video). If I do it again (and I plan to) I would continue to Leon and do the San Salvador/Primitivo routes. I would also recommend staying in downtown Madrid an extra night. I walked to the edge of the city and took the subway...
I hope you get the chance to walk this route. I walked it in May 2019 and really enjoyed it. I met very few fellow pilgrims along the way so it can be a bit lonely at times, but I enjoyed the peaceful walks each day. One thing you may consider is to walk to the edge of Madrid and take the subway...

I’m starting in Madrid on May 2/19 and only walking to Leon. Since the Camino Frances is busy after Leon, I plan to take the train to Santiago and then walking the Muzia Finnesterre route. This will also be my fourth Camino.
I’ve booked my nights till Segovia but no further. This is my first...
