Camino Norte and Inglés 2015
The situation:
I live in Madrid and am on holiday until a week on Monday, back to work Tuesday. Rucksack packed and ready to go. I walked the CF in 2012 backwards and forwards, and lived in Burgos for 18 months before moving to Madrid, therefore I know the CF well and want to walk a different route. I have a camper van so can drive and park up pretty much anywhere in Spain from Madrid, and obviously could use public transport too.

The problem:
I can't decide! Rubbish I know, but I'm suffering from an attack of indecisiveness, procrastination and analysis paralysis....
If I drive somewhere I would need to be able to easily return to collect the vehicle, if I use public transport I would need to be able to get back to Madrid for AM Tuesday 7th....

...I know I could simply head out on the Camino Madrid, but I've walked a few of the stages near to Madrid and want to do a different camino!
Thanks in advance gente!



Helpful prompt suggestions wanted as feet getting very itchy!
Thanks in advance.

You could drive to Ferrol and walk the Inglés, then return for your camper. If you search @Albertinho's posts he and his wife stayed at a campsite just outside Ferrol and arranged to leave their camper/caravan there while they walked.
Buen Camino
 
Good idea of Tia Valeria. You could also drive to Lugo, which is a bit nearer and is easy to get back to by public transport. Sane goes for Orense.
 
Train for your next Camino on California's Santa Catalina Island March 16-19

Or INSANE:cool: goes for driving to Palencia and walking the Meseta this time of year, I think that would be absolutely beautiful. Just ask Reb. Sorry annakqppa for picking on your typo:rolleyes:.
