From Madrid to Logrõno

[Susanne]

Hello

I will be doing my first Camino in July, and as I only have 21 days I plan on starting in Logrõno. I will be arriving in Madrid on July 15th at 18:45 and would like to either catch a late bus/train or the earliest on the 16th.

What is the quickest - least expensive?

If I need to stay the night in Madrid, can you recommend something?

Kindest regards,
Susanne - Denmark

bus is your best bet. see http://www.continental-auto.es
You're arriving rather late to catch a bus to Logroño that day, but you could perhaps get one part way. When I went Madrid-Logroño the buses went from Continental's depot in the N part of the city, but I think now they all leave from the main bus stn in Avenida de America.

I have stopped in a variety of hotels in Madrid. There are some reasonable ones in the city centre, not overpriced as capital cities go, and as it's a weekend you might get a good rate. There's an English search engine at http://www.descubremadrid.com/en/buscad ... dormir.asp
Shop around

Hang out in Madrid, then ...

You could hang out in Madrid for a day, then catch the RENFE Altaria at 18:10 to Logroño.

I hesitate to post them for universal consumption, but you can Email me directly for hotel options in Madrid or Logroño.
