    Confusion before Cercedilla

    I had exactly the same problem in May last year - a big bend (because I followed the arrows on the road), which in the end I thought was made only to pass the accommodation "Casona de Navalmedio " where the road turns sharply left from the asphalt to the dirt road and "back" towards Cercedilla...

    Simancas or Valladolid

    Valladolid is a beautiful and pleasant city. However, it does not have the "pilgrimage" atmosphere that, for example, Burgos or Leon has (I have been to Valladolid before). Therefore, my choice was not to interrupt my well-being (for which I also walk the Camino and for which I chose CdM) of...

    Madrid, Segovia and León?

    Sierra de Guadarrama - It is among the three most beautiful days on my Caminos. Even so, if I hadn't booked a place to stay, I would have probably slept 3km before Segovia 😂 , under the railway overpass😱. Seriously (68 years old, overweight, 32km, ascent and descent and on your back everything...

    Madrid, Segovia and León?

    @futurefjp If you decide to do the Camino de Madrid, then I highly recommend a rest day in Segovia. Firstly, because you will probably be VERY tired from walking (32km and 600-700m difference in altitude if you go from Cercedilla) and secondly, because Segovia is really worth an extra day

    Madrid, Segovia and León?

    I was in May in "Hostal Central Palace Madrid", two days. The location is exceptional - 50-100m from Calle de Santiago, right across from the Royal Palace. However, the price is "non-Albergue": €85 for two people per night. The room is very large and nicely decorated. Buen Camino!

    Videos from Madrid route

    among other things: the bar opens in the afternoon. In the evening he asked when I was leaving. I said around 7:00. He woke up earlier, opened the bar, made coffee (and then went back to sleep🙂). And of course - he cooks perfectly and by arrangement, from the ingredients he has

    Videos from Madrid route

    Hi Robin, looks like we were only a few days apart. I started in Madrid on May 12th. I had booked most of the accommodation a few months earlier, there was enough space in the remaining overnight stays (albergue). My videos are not as “pro” as yours, however they give a general impression of the...

    Virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid - Detailed planning

    My physical Camino Madrid (unless something unforeseen happens) will be May 10th to May 25th. Airline ticket purchased. Half accommodation booked. And now only 6 months of happy anticipation. Thank you @C clearly and thank you to the others for the pleasant company and very useful information...

    Virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid - Detailed planning

    I was in Valladolid (2 days) on my way to Salamanca and VdlP. Nice place, but not in a way like Leon or Burgos or Astorga, for example. Despite the history, the atmosphere is more “modern” (actually I don’t even know myself what I missed, probably the pilgrimage spirit). So I will not turn off...

    Virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid - Detailed planning

    It’s not related to “day 8,” but it’s time for an interesting observation: I’m a solo wolker. I love solitude and a long walk in silence. On my eight Caminos (each around 300km) I never had a “Camino family” and it was also foreign to me. I also tried to avoid chatting as much as I could to...

    Virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid - Detailed planning

    Because I am missing one day on the way to Sahagun, I will get on the bus for the first time in the middle of the walk🤫. To Nava de la Asuncion bus, then another 10km walk to Coca. I chose this part of the route because I guess it is easier to get a bus from Segovia. I was a little comforted...

    Virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid - Detailed planning

    I have the respect (and little worry) associated with “Big Day”. But because a room is waiting for me in beautiful Segovia and then a day of rest that both Segovia and I deserve - I am sure that everything will be fine because the day is long and there is no hurry. By no means would I miss the...

    Virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid - Detailed planning

    The power of motivation: I just booked a room at the "Hostal Central Palace Madrid" (May) - right next to the Iglesia de Santiago, now I'm continuing to buy a plane ticket🥰 Thank you, @C clearly 🙏🚶‍♀️
