[QUOTE="alexwalker, post: 428957, member: 6651"] First: Welcome here! No problem, really: The bus network in Spain is superb and cheap & reliable: It will bring you to an airport in a few hours. Same with the train system. If it comforts you, book a cheap bed for the first night at [URL="http://www.booking.com"]www.booking.com[/URL] Accomodation is not a problem: You are young (and fit, I assume), so you should be at an albergue at 1 PM and have an affordable bed for the night. Start very early (not for the bed; for the sun heat), and stop at a reasonable time. IMHO much of the fuzz about no beds are made by people who walk well into the afternoon and believe there is an endless row of vacant beds. If I were you, I would get a train from wherever your plane lands, to Burgos, and start from there. Why? [LIST] [*]You will be able to reach Santiago within your available time. [*]2 days after Burgos, you are walking up on the flat Meseta, a perfect place for 7-9 days of silent contemplation. [*]You will pass Cruz de Ferro. [*]You will pass O'Cebreiro. [*]You will walk in Galicia. [*]You will be able to celebrate (and cry) with your newfound pilgrim friends (yes, some of them may even be for life). [*]By choosing the CF, you [B]WILL[/B] meet many people. Other Caminos may be lonely experiences. [/LIST] But all is entirely up to you, and whatever you choose, I wish you [B]BUEN CAMINO![/B] [/QUOTE]
