Time of past OR future Camino
Madrid to Santiago de Compostela
Hello im Pablo C Vergara - Im in the Film Industry and been on some TV shows and NETFLIX.

I just arrived to Madrid and staying at Tres Cantos tonight and intending to travel north to start my Camino tomorrow!

Anyone knows where I could get my passport in this town on Sunday and also any free albergue I could stay in?

Also, which route do I take to start the camino? Im a newbie and pretty green here!

(personal contact info removed)

Thanks!

Pablo

It is not safe to embark on a long, multiday walk without a lot of planning and preparation. Perhaps I am wrong but my impression is that you need a plan.
 
Are you traveling the Camino Madrid or heading to another city to begin your pilgrimage on another route? Gronze.com can help you find lodging if you know where you are heading. It can also help you find a credential as it will be indicated in the information about the albergues.

Just a note, there are no "free" albergues. Some are donativo which means you should leave a donation according to your financial ability.

I've met people who just showed up in SJPdP without much planning or preparation. They managed to safely complete the Camino. But one does need to have an idea of where they will start and on which route.

My plan was to first escape the Hell i was at back home. Now my plan is to walk at peace and find God during my journey. I am sure it wont be as unsafe as you say. Whats the worse that can happen?
 
I am in Tres Cantos and about to start walking up north in some hours. I have no idea where im going and where I will end at the end of the day..I'm 'playing it by ear'.. isnt it exciting?!

I can definitely do some donations ar albergues. I aint loaded with cash neither.

Where can i find my route from Tres Cantos to the next.destination?

Maybe download a guide book and a few apps. They will show you some typical walking stages and will also show you the accommodation typically used by pilgrims. The apps also generally have gps maps that show you the route. This can be useful. The guide book will also describe the typical pilgrims backpack and gear. Good luck.
 
Thanks Rick! I have downloaded a few apps and now I know my route for tomorrow. It will be a day walk of 25km to the next town of Colmenar Viejo..in there I assume ill find quick accomodation and rest for my next day's journey. This is so exciting!
