Hi all,
My first message on this board. I'm thinking of doing the Camino Madrid starting on Nov. 6. It's an easy/cheap connecting flight from London, Gatwick (traveling from Calgary) and it looks like a great walk. I'm prepared for any hiking/walking difficulty or weather but I'd prefer not to be alone for 10-12 days until I get to the Camino Frances. It sounds like there's a good chance that this could happen. I'm also wondering about the restaurant or food/drink situation on the Madrid. I'd prefer not to pack too many lunches and dinners since I cook enough at home. I also like to stop for an espresso/treat for lunch when it's possible. I would consider the option of continuing on to the Primitivo even if it's wet and difficult as long as I can have a warm meal each evening and preferably some company. I have 30 days for this Camino trip and I'm comfortable at completing 25-35KM a day with no days off but have some shorter walking days to recover. Any advice would be welcome. Maybe another Camino would be more suited for my requirements... I completed the Portuguese central route from Lisbon in November 2018.
Thanks!
