My husband and I leave for our Camino tomorrow! I can't believe that it is finally time to go. We started seriously thinking about this a few years ago and made concrete plans about a year ago. And now it is time! We fly to Madrid, then take a train to Leon, and start walking from there (start walking on Friday morning). I am excited and apprehensive. I am thankful to you all for all the advice and information that you have given me while planning our Camino.

I am home barely three weeks and felt a quick jab of envy when I saw your post.

Have a wonderful time. Even the "less than wonderful" times will come to have meaning for you.

Buen Camino!

We are in our last 100k. After seeing Leon and the less than glamourous walk out of town, I would recommend seeing the cathedral and then taxi to La Virgen del Camino. From there you can walk to Villavante. One of the nicest places we have stayed is Molinas Galochas. Mercedes and Maximo were the best of hosts and their converted mill is fantastic. They have window panes in the floor to see the stream below. Youll need a reservation.

On the other hand if you get a taxi you may well miss the " bodegas" cave-like dwellings. Buen camino
