CF en of April 2015
I'm starting out from SJPP on the 22nd of April, but need to detour to Madrid for the weekend of May 1st (and rejoin after). Since I'm not certain where I'll be, I was hoping to grab a bus the morning of the 1st wherever I happen to have stopped (maybe around Belorado?) . But I'm a bit concerned about buses being full, should I book in advance or will I likely be able to find my way to Mardrid (ideally, by 8pm). I'll likely book a return train from Madrid to a major city, and go from there, so I'm not concerned about getting back to the trail, just getting to Madrid.
