Today, I have changed my walking plans.
Originally, I'd thought I'd bus to Caceres
and pick up where I left off on the Via de la Plata last year.
But after comparing costs,
and thinking about the two long bus trips
I would have to take to complete those plans,
I've changed my mind.
I've decided to walk the Camino Madrid this year.
It will be very convenient,
since I'm flying into Madrid,
just to start walking there!
Here is the plan as it has manifested today.
Of course, this can change as I gather more information.
Hotel prices are for a double twin room
and I was able to make reservations
on booking.com

This sounds like such a sensible thing to do. I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes.
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic. I love Segovia. Buen Camino
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so exciting. By the you reach Csstromonte, I will be starting my walk out of SJPdP. Would be so wonderful if we could meet along the way
