- Time of past OR future Camino

Hi. Long time lurker and first time poster so please be patient. We walked the Camino Francés in 2015 and are looking to walk from Madrid to Santiago via the VDLP next year. We were originally looking at walking the whole of the VDLP but coming from New Zealand this adds a lot of time away from work to the overall trip. We have therefore been tentatively looking at walking the Madrid route up as far as somewhere like Valladolid and then cutting across west and joining the VDLP at maybe Zamora and then continuing on that can is route to Santiago along the Sanabrés. My questions are:
Donna
- Is there a better place to make the east-west crossing?
- How long is this likely to take assuming a reasonable level of fitness and no rest days (we can add the rest days in ourself)?
- It looks like the section that crosses from the Madrid route to the VDLP is around 100km. Has anyone had any experience of the type of accomodation available on this section of ‘off piste’ Camino?
