Day 16 Madrid

The albergue wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible, and no one made any noise in the early hours of the morning, so we slept well.

We went round to the café opposite the Pilgrim Office and had a proper cooked breakfast. My friend wanted to walk to the train station as it was only 1.3km away.

We got there in plenty of time and just waited until we were able to go through the security check and board the train. It took three hours to get to Madrid. It was boiling hot, but just a few hours later, it was thunder and rain.

Our hostel for tonight was less than expected. Let's just say that whoever designed their website deserves an academy award. But it's a bed for the night and a shower in the morning.

The whole day has felt like being in a departure lounge, waiting to move on.

Tomorrow, we will check out at 11 am. and head to the airport. We will be too early, but we might as well wait there than in a street cafe somewhere in MadridRead more
