Starting in Ponferrada May 2018

[Scott F]

Hello All,

I am excited about my first Camino starting May 21st from Ponferrada. Less than 15 weeks to go, not that I am counting My flights have been booked, gear has been purchased (and weighed) and training hikes have begun. I hope to see new friends along The Way.

Be sure to spend a day in Ponferrada to rest up from any jet lag and to tour the Knight's Templar castle. Don't rush off without a visit!

Paul,

Definitely. I will have 36 hours in Madrid to recover from jet lag before I bus to Ponferrada. Templar Castle is at top of my list.

Sounds like my wife & I in Sept '15 ... Madrid Estacion Sur, which is a fair walk about 2k from the Prado, has direct bus about 4 hours to Ponferrada. Several buses are behind the waiting room doors, so be sure to ask to confirm that you are on the correct bus! Ponferrada station is nice, has small resturant and a few small coins to use bano, but it keeps it clean. Bien Camino!

Thank you Cayou for the tip!

So exciting. We should get to Ponferrada at about the start of June this year. Have a great adventure.
