Decision made. I need some sun. Will fly to Madrid probably Sunday for one or two days (I see Norwegian Air fly to Madrid now), walk north to the Camino Frances over 2 weeks or so, then turn left for Santiago. I'm currently going through the forum and copying and pasting notes, esp Kinky Ones (thanks) and have downloaded the CSJ's pdf (not read it yet though) and a list of albergues. Can anyone tell me:
a) Where can I get set of walking gpx coordinates from Madrid to Sahagun? I get lost easily!
b) Is there an office in the church of Santiago I need to go to in Madrid for the creditial?
c) I'm happy to take a bus or metro to get to the outskirts of Madrid. Any easy-to-follow hints on the best way out of Madrid to a convenient point to pick up signs?
d) Any other top blogs for this walk you can point me to, especially with places to stay / directions?
e) Any other top tips?
My main problem at the moment seems to be nailing down directions to albergues, although if the weather is good, I fully intend to sleep outside. And I speak no Spanish except 'Hola'.
Thanks
Dave
