Camino de Madrid, May (2018)

Leaving Madrid for Sahagun on May 23rd. Anyone else around that time? My first Camino, not my first time in Madrid. Meeting my son in Leon on June 7, then my wife and other family in Sarria on June 14. Not everyone is walking, so anticipate someone will scope out my next stop and have the wine and beer waiting for the walkers.

Welcome to the forum, Bill!!!

And to CdM alumni group
In Sahagun I saw more pilgrims in 2 minutes than I did on whole CdM. But it's a good start and I hope you'll like it because once you hit the Frances and especially after Sarria things can get really mad crowds-wise.

There are few forum members (@OzAnnie etc.) on the way at the moment if you care to search for their posts. Otherwise just ask and we'll gladly help.

Buen Camino!

Thank you. I'm following ozannie. I'm excited to get going, as I love Spain and the Spanish folk. I lived in Madrid for 10 months, went to the 1982 World Cup. Looking forward the renewing my Madrid/Spain experiences. I'm a beer nerd, and have made contact with a beer nerd in Madrid that will help me find good beer Kinky?

Oh, I'm a beer fan too but on Camino I can get by with their lagers, especially Estrella Galicia. Anyone for that matter as long as it's cold
I do have a friend living in Madrid but he's wrong address for info on any craft beers and such. I believe nowadays you can get all these info on-line.

Cheers!

@Texas Bill , we have just begun the CM. You can follow along on our blog www.ourboatleavestheharbor.blogspot.com. You can see the stream between Tres Cantos and Colmenar Viego was manageable today, but it's flow changes with the rain. Buen Camino.
