A great big thank you for the replies to my post. Those of you that corrected my mileage estimate from 250 to appox 300 miles, THANK YOU! I agree, my initial estimate of 16 walking days was too low. I am going to bump that up to 21 or 22 with 3 or 4 days of rest and sight-seeing. Also, the information regarding travel from and to Madrid is very helpful.
Rex - thanks for the tip regarding shoes vs boots. I like the ankle support of boots, but if this is not important, shoes may be the better choice.
I want this trip to be a time of reflection. A hurry-up hike that resembles my Marine Corps days is not what I'm looking for.
Thank you all --- Roger
Hi Roger,.....I like the ankle support of boots, but if this is not important, shoes may be the better choice.....
Hello - I am planning to walk from Burgos to Santiago de Compostela in September thru early October. I am allowing 16 walking days for the 250 mile trek. In addition, I am allocating 3 rest/tourist days for a total of 19 days. Any thoughts or comments? Will the terrain in between allow this? I am a pretty fit old man. I can easily walk 2.5 miles in about 40 or 45 minutes with no pack. I figure I still have some training to do.
It looks like it should be an easy train/bus ride from Madrid to Burgos. I would also figure on taking a train or bus from Santiago de Compostela back to Madrid for the trip home. Thoughts or suggestions? Thank you very much in advance. --- Roger

i landed in terminal 1 in Madrid & took the airport bus to terminal 4. Alsa buses depart from the ground floor. I had prebooked my bus seat online. The bus journey was pleasant, I arrived in Burgos at 4pm, had some food and then walked the 10km to Tarjados. I had booked a bed in La Casa Beli there.Thank you Falcon!
