Hi all,
I am hiking the Camino for the first time. Woo woo!! I arrive in Madrid and then I am hoping to take the train to Ponferrada and hike for 10 days (or so) to Santiago. I have a few random questions:
1)Where can I buy a train ticket from Madrid to Ponferrada?
2)If I arrive in Madrid at 5 pm, I should probably just sleep the night in Madrid and take an early morning train to Ponferrada and then start the Camino then? If that makes sense, does anyone have hotel recommendations in Madrid?
3) I am hiking June 28th-July 10th. Do I need a sleeping bag?
4) Any hotel recommendations in Santiago?
If anyone has any answers to these questions or general words of wisdom- please let me know. I am excited! Yet a bit nervous
Thanks,
Veronica
