Time of past OR future Camino
Sept 12 - Oct 2 (2018)
We (3 possibly 4 of us) are flying into Madrid Sep. 12 and then planning to start our Camino in Astorga. A few questions I have are:

1. Train - looks like our best option to get to Astorga from Madrid would you recommend booking in advance?
2. Albergue - where do you recommend staying? If we take the train it looks like it doesn’t arrive until 20:25, is it possible to reserve albergue ahead of time and if not will we have a problem finding somewhere to stay that late?

We are hoping to walk Astorga to Santiago and then continue on to Finisterre and Muxia. We need to be back in Dublin by Oct 2.
 
Best lightweight pocket guides
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
There are several buses from T-4 terminal at Barajas to Astorga. You may find that easier than the train. The train station is at the bottom of the hill, so would would have a bit of elevation to cover at dusk.

Albergues will take you until about 10 p.m., so you can stay in one of them. Neither takes reservations, but you should not have a problem in September.
 
Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
