Finding the start of the Camino Madrid

[cindyjo]

Hi all, I’m sitting in the Rodilla Cafe on Plaza Castilla after looking for an arrow or some sign to show the start of the Camino Madrid. My sister and I hope to begin walking tomorrow morning, but we’re unsure where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

I understand you have to go to Real Iglesia Parroquial de Santiago y San Juan Bautista

I walked it in 2019, so it may be different now, but back then the church referenced above was the unofficial starting point for the Camino. However, there were no yellow arrows until you got to Plaza de Castilla.

So I made my own way from the church to the Plaza. Heading north up the street, both before and after Cafe Rodilla, there were yelpow arrows. Look on street lights, street lamps, kerbs, buildings, etc.

But head north from Cafe Rodilla and you should find some. Good luck! It’s a great Camino.
