Transfer

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Do you recommend booking train ride ahead of time from Madrid to Sarria.
Without doubt. And the sooner the better - which may be anytime from 12 to 4 weeks before travel depending on the operator’s whim. Long distance trains in Spain a) frequently sell-out and b) get more expensive as departure day approaches.

And: welcome!
 
Don't cut yourself short on time though. I usually spend the night in Madrid and catch my train the next day. There is only one direct train per day from Madrid. The others require a transfer. Even the direct train went part of the journey by bus last time I rode due to extensive track works.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Without doubt. And the sooner the better - which may be anytime from 12 to 4 weeks before travel depending on the operator’s whim. Long distance trains in Spain a) frequently sell-out and b) get more expensive as departure day approaches.

Thank you so much!!
