Return from Finisterre to Madrid

There is an overnight sleeper train from Santiago to Madrid. You can have a nice dinner in Santiago, and then go down to catch the train. It arrives in Madrid early in the morning. It's a good idea to buy your ticket when you first arrive in Santiago so if your preferred date is sold out (I...

Where did you have a good Menu del Dia on the Camino Frances

Burgos. The restaurant just down the way from albergue La Casa del Cabo Lerma that advertises pilgrim menus. They had the local blood pudding. It was a real restaurant dinner marketed as a pilgrim menu. Delicious!

What I like about Trail Journals is that it's a collection of journals, not a stand-alone blog. When you click on a trail, you get a list of the people who are keeping journals and when they last updated it. (There are a number of people writing journals on the Camino right now.) Each person...

ATMs

Avoiding Brierley stages?

It's much better to not follow the stages in the book. You are on your own walk across Spain and can stay wherever you want. I loved the Brierley book. I'd look through the options of towns to stay in and choose what looked good. There are lots of little gems hiding out in the middle of the...

Great Website for Writing a Web Journal of Your Camino

Hi Peregrinos, I discovered the website TrailJournals.com before I walked the Camino Frances last summer. It's an easy to use site where you can post a daily journal with photos. It's free. My family, especially, liked to be able to keep track of me as I plodded happily through Spain...
