    New Guide to the Route from Madrid to Sahagún now available

    Yep, I also have a few photos of mountains with snow on them. Not much snow, but I did not expect to see snow in Spain in May :) Also, I think the one more bit of information which can be useful. There is no albergue in Segovia anymore. I was told that there is still some cheap accommodation...

    From Madrid in mid of May. A lot of questions.

    Hi, Javier. Just wanted to let you know, that I have walked this "shortcut" between two Caminos and it worked out pretty well. It was very easy to find the way in Santa María la Real de Nieva (Camino Madrid is following it for a while) and then I walked all time along the road to Arévalo. The...

    New Guide to the Route from Madrid to Sahagún now available

    Johnnie, The guide of Madrid Camino (at least the one I had) tells that "Here there is a footbridge into Tres Cantos (modern industrial town, Holiday Inn Express Tres Cantos*** and all facilities). If you wish to visit Tres Cantos you must cross the autovia at this footbridge and return the...

    Madrid: Lonely camino if you're on your own

    I was walking part of Madrid Camino from Madrid till St.Maria Nivea in May. It was cold and very solitary. Albergue in Segovia is closed and the only one I stayed in was in St.Maria Nivea. There was one more in Cercedilla but it was out of town and I did not find it on the day of arrival (seen...

    From Madrid in mid of May. A lot of questions.

    My plans are the same - Camino Madrid and then Camino Levante/Sureste to avoid (presumably) large traffic of Camino Frances. I think I will stick to the CL-605 from Santa María la Real de Nieva to Arévalo as I think it will be easier not to get lost there. And I would be very-very glad to see...

    From Madrid in mid of May. A lot of questions.

    Thanks, John! I will make a last minute updates for my guides set. And I will NOT take the sleeping mat - my back will tell thanks, I guess :) Natalia.

    From Madrid in mid of May. A lot of questions.

    Thanks, Javier Martin. I think that the second option with first day to Tres Cantos is more realistic and will follow it. If no cheap accomodation find there (and all your suggestions will be highly welcome), always can try come back to Madrid for the night though it is also no very cheap :)...

    From Madrid in mid of May. A lot of questions.

    Less then one week before my first Camino. Backpack is almost packed, guide/maps studied and I am eager to go. Nervous, of course, and still have some questions not answered. Should I pack my sleeping mat or should I leave it home? I know, this question was discussed hundreds times but what is...

    From Madrid in mid of May. A lot of questions.

    Thanks Jonnie Walker. Now I will find this church for sure :) I have booked both vacation and tickets. Decided that leaving on Friday will be too much for my employer :) So will arrive in Madrid on Saturday at ca. 10am and planning to start from Fuencarral on the same day around noon. Does it...

    From Madrid in mid of May. A lot of questions.

    Alipilgrim, I am Russian living in Germany. I do not belong to any church or Pilgrim Association (I do have my beliefs but don't want to discuss it here), so I am afraid that for me this would not be a wise option as I don't want to pay a lot of money for it (all this fees for joining it, etc)...

    From Madrid in mid of May. A lot of questions.

    alipilgrim, thanks for your reply. I will consider such solution. And the photo is BEUATIFUL! Javier, I was hoping for your answer, to be honest :) Sure, I will be happy if there is some known solution for such "hopping". I have looked on the maps and it looks that one can walk along CL-605...

    From Madrid in mid of May. A lot of questions.

    I am planning to start my first Camino in the mid of May from Madrid. This forum is great and I am reading it for a week already in any spare minute. 1. Since I don't have such luxury as a five-six weeks of vacation, and I am afraid that making my day by longer walk rather then by speed, I...
