Taking the Car?

Time of past OR future Camino
Have walked fro St Jean Pied de Port to Burgos in 2017 and wish to continus from Burgos in May 2018.
Hello, last year I drove to St Jean Pied de Port from Scotland and walked to Burgos from there. I was lucky to have found some excellent off street parking, albeit insecure, in someone's garden in St Jean. This year I would like to continue the Cammino from Burgos and would intend to drive down again. However, I'm looking for a reasonable parking solution in terms of cost and security for 2-3 weeks. I would imagine that I may have to park somewhere outside Burgos and travel in before commencing walk. Any ideas or experiences outer which may be helpful? Hugh
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
A first, maybe wild idea, write to the Asociación de Amigos, mailto:administracion@caminosantiago.org, I think they are based in Logroño and to the best of my knowledge can deal with English (even as spoke by a Scot!!!). Ask no questions, told no lies. They just might know somebody with a big back yard...Good luck anyway.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Thanks for this. I will make enquiries.

I'm also looking for the best source of information about travel arrangements..... I understand much of this can be done locally on the ground but if there are any websites which offer practical advice on how best to return from Santiago to Burgos, for example. Or what would be the best airport to seek out if flying back. Do all roads lead to Madrid? Is the coach a better option than the train?
 

Great idea. Thanks. I will make enquiries. Hugh

One way to secure parking, is to make a deal with a local auto repair shop. You could let them take care of the periodical maintenance, while you were walking, and include parking.

I know of several persons who have done exactly that in SJPdP. The same should be possible in Burgos. Win-win for everyone.
