Hello,Hi, I will be flying to Madrid in September and wondering if anyone has recently walked the Madrid route? I have been thinking of walking this way but concerned about lack of accommodation in certain stages, can anybody supply me with some useful information on what experiences they have had on Camino de Madrid? Cheers!
That I agree with! They were wonderful hosts!We finished the Camino de Madrid about 3 weeks ago. No problems finding accommodation. We only saw 3 other walking peregrinos in the whole 14 days. Loved it. Make sure to stay with Ray & Rosa at Manzanares & they will give you lots of hints.
Finished 13/7 after 13 days, Open albergues from Alcazaren and forward to Sahagun. Before that no problems with other types of acommodation.Hi, I will be flying to Madrid in September and wondering if anyone has recently walked the Madrid route?

Hi Allison. I finished this Camino a few weeks back. Mainly pensions until Segovia then there are albergues. Given it’s so quiet I sometimes called the night before to advise ( and double check the hospitalero/a was around). Carry some food. Often the only fruiteria or tienda was closed. Carry all your water for the day - serious lack of fuentes. It’s a very different Camino, I personally loved it. Happy to answer any questions !! xHi, I will be flying to Madrid in September and wondering if anyone has recently walked the Madrid route?

I agree when I walked in 2018 we only saw a few (4-5) other pilgrims. Accommodations were not hard to find.Hello,
I walked it in 2019, just before Covid. I had a daily blog for the whole Camino, so if you want to look at that you can send me a personal message and I can give you my blog site.
Of the four full Caminos I’ve trekked, Francis, Plata, Portuguese, it was my favorite. Only saw about 8-10 other walking pilgrims (other than bicyclists) on the Madrid, and felt like I was on a quiet country road, and then merging onto a freeway when I continued on the Francis to Santiago. For me it was the best of both worlds, the solitude of the Madrid and then the busy social aspect of the Francis.

Hi Walli,We finished the Camino de Madrid about 3 weeks ago. No problems finding accommodation. We only saw 3 other walking peregrinos in the whole 14 days. Loved it. Make sure to stay with Ray & Rosa at Manzanares & they will give you lots of hints.
Gronze is extremely up to date and accurate. If Gronze says they are still closed (we do have confirmation from others that they have been closed), I would be pretty confident that they are still closed.the albergues municipales at Santa Maria Real de la Nieve, Coca, Nava de la Asuncion being listed as closed on gronze.com. I don't know how accurate the website is
I and two friends start from Tres Cantos on 4 September. I checked the albergue in Coca a few days ago (called) and was told it is closed. We are staying in an appartment there. Looking forward to walking this route, only heard great things about it! Cheers.Gronze is extremely up to date and accurate.

LarsN -- are you planning to stay at the Acogida de la parroquia de Santa Teresa de Jesus in Tres Cantos by any chance? According to gronze, they require 48 hour advance notice. I've tried calling them several times, but no answer. If you're planning to stay there, have you had any luck in getting through to them?I and two friends start from Tres Cantos on 4 September.

Have you tried WhatsApp?I've tried calling them several times, but no answer.
I haven't tried WhatsApp. Don't carry a cell phone, and gave up trying to set it up on my laptop....I'll try calling the number tomorrow; otherwise, I will just chance it and show up.Have you tried WhatsApp?
Based on what I see on Gronze, they just have a land line. There may be a mobile number somewhere, but only a 918 number is listed. All numbers starting with 9 are land lines and can’t use whatsapp.Have you tried WhatsApp?
