I walked as far as Nararrex last Spring but had health difficulties and could not continue. Turns out I needed open heart surgery. This spring I will continue but not sure how far I will get in the amount of time I have.
I will be walking from Navarrex to somewhere past Burgos this year and will probably have to leave the Camino in a rural area. I expect to need some kind of ride back to Burgos to get to my flight out of Madrid at the end of April. Does anyone know about buses or other transport along the Camino between Burgos and Leon? I assume I can easily get bus or train to Madrid from either of these cities.
Mitral valve. The doc who did the surgery said afterward he didn't know how I walked into the Hospital. It will be rough at first but you get better fast. By 8 weeks after you should be doing well. I'll be on the Camino again at 22 weeks.John, that's great. Aortic valve by any chance? A valve replacement is what awaits me.
I have had good luck in France several times over the years but will only hitchhike if all other methods fail. The advice I have gotten here has helped a lot and I think I have it covered. Thanks to all of you.@John Lunde
You mentioned hitchhiking which I did a few times but only in Muxia/Fisterra/Cee region. Usually the foreigners stops and on very few occasions Spaniards. I would say that hitchhiking in Spain is time consuming. So if you have enough time it could be fun but otherwise this might be of some help:
