    LIVE from the Camino A Sketcher's Camino Madrid

    It might depend on whether you really want to get some more walking in this week or not before the Francés. If not, and since you have your extra stuff with you now, maybe an idea could be to go to nearby Salamanca and stay there for the rest of the week through Easter. It's a beautiful city...

    Semana Santa on the Camino Madrid

    It’s the Camino de Madrid, let’s not use hyperbole here. It will be busier than normal during Semana Santa but normal on this camino is virtually empty. @Donna Sch, hopefully someone begins the CdM during Semana Santa next week and shares their experience to give you an idea of what to expect...

    Enjoy and thanks for sharing your camino and your art! Apart from the usual churches and other highlights (eg the castle at Coca) that you will come across, two places I loved that you might enjoy sketching are the the tree-lined Canal de Castilla leaving Medina de Rioseco (more beautiful than...

    Camino Madrid in Early March?

    The @Camino Chrissy variant! I walked it the Madrid in the first two weeks of April in 2019. It snowed in Segovia while we were there, so be prepared for that possibility. Albergues were open and it was pre-Easter (Easter was late that year), but I’m not sure if that means they’ll be open in...

    I’m not quite sure why, but I’ve always thought the ruined tower in your last two photos was one of the most evocative places I have seen on any camino. I also loved the canal walk!

    I think we got lucky that someone else had arranged a guided tour in advance right around the time we showed up, so we were able to piggy-back off them.

    I went inside on a Wednesday in 2019, FWIW.

    Wendy and I enjoyed the pine forests in the middle stages of the Camino de Madrid. Wendy especially liked the soft walking surface that is best for her plantar fasciitis. Unfortunately it rained the whole time we were in Coca, so we didn’t visit the castle.

    Such a shame but I trust that you have been there before.

    Ray y Rosa’s cabin-albergue is fantastic. Have a great night! Sorry about the rain but fingers crossed for better weather tomorrow and (especially) the day after. It was a bit rainy in Lisbon today too.

    There’s a first time for everything! My options can be a bit limited but pan con tomate (with freshly squeezed orange juice, as I’m not a coffee drinker) has always been my favourite Spanish breakfast, and it always makes me feel as though I am in Andalucía. (On the other hand, I ordered it in a...

    ¡Buen camino! Looking forward to your updates. As @Pelerina said, it’s a great little camino!

    Flights Booked

    The CdM was also my third camino and I started on 1st April (2019). It snowed while we were in Segovia so be prepared for the cold! Yes, you’re unlikely to see many walkers but it’s a great little camino. My highlights are here in case you’re interested: Camino de Madrid Highlights

    Starting from Madrid - where would you go through?

    If you choose this option, you could opt for the Verín variant to give you something new on the Sanabrés. I walked some of that (from Verín to Ourense) a few weeks ago and there are definitely some highlights in there!
