Best Way To Enter Levante From Madrid?

[SitaClaire]

I am planning to start my walk around the 14th April from Madrid. Is it possible to walk to Levante from there or should I get a bus to Avila?

You can also have a bus to San Martin de Valdeiglesias, or to Cebreros, which permit to cross the very nice region between San Martin and Avila (2 or, best, 3 days walking)
Buses are in the intermodal station Principe Pio, just South of the Palais Royal.
If you intend to connect Madrid with the way by foot, may be you find some route searching in Wikiloc.

Hi, SitaClare, Welcome to the forum!

Are you planning to walk the Camino de Madrid from Madrid? Or are you just saying you will be arriving in Madrid and you want to start walking on the Camino de Levante? I agree with JLWV that it would be a shame to start in Avila and miss the mountain days before it. If you have enough time, you could take a bus or train from Madrid to Toledo and start walking on the Levante there. If you don't know Toledo that would be a great opportunity to see it, it is a beautiful town chock full of things to see, but also equally full of tourists. That's why walking from there is a great idea, because it would give you a night to enjoy the peace and beauty of Toledo after dark.

If you want to walk the Camino de Madrid, you could walk the first few days to Segovia, and then take a bus from there to Avila to connect with the Levante, but I think the first suggestion is the nicer one. Buen camino, Laurie

Or just get a flight to Valencia and start from there!

I too would like to walk from Madrid to Avila - and pick up the Camino de Levante there. Did you manage it?

from Madrid to Valencia the flight is the fastest way, some 30 mn, plus airport waiting time, second option is train from Atocha (AVE 1h45), and third one is bus, some 4-5 hours.
