A pilgrim from New Zealand was also starting out today and was glad to join us. The first couple of days are always tough. It was very dry, but luckily it was cool in the morning and only reached 29 in theRead more

Another day of pine forest paths. The day after having a feast put on by the local bar owner last night, Paul was having a hard day walking, suffering from last nights feast. Most of us are not too hungry today.
Having a bit of a rest at our new albergue tonight. Tomorrow a 24 km day.

Palacio Real De Madrid
Apparently was built and then the king decided it wasnt big enough so had it made bigger.
Truly enormous.
Be prepared to queue and be heckled to buy water, tours and fans...
Definitely the biggest I have even seen!
Matthew MattocksWe discovered the queues were far smaller after noon so this may be a better time to visit

We have had a lovely time in Madrid but we must now leave now for Barcelona. A quick beer and cake whilst we wait for a platform is a must. We had Churros for breakfast which you must try if you come here.
The trains can be very confusing and different ticket desks only sell tickets for certainRead more

Last thing you expect in Madrid is an Egyptian Temple, yet here one is... obviously I need better friends as this was a present from Egypt to Spain.
Amazed that a building over 2000 years old is still standing even after being sunk when they built a dam and then moved 2855 miles ish.... even in 1965Read more

Despues de almorzar visitamos el Palacio Real. Usamos audioguia en el recorrido que nos fue muy util para conocer acerca de donde vivivan los antiguos reyes de España.
Lo que mas nos gusto fueron los detalles y lo especial de cada sala, los tapices en las paredes y la Real Armeria con su coleccionRead more
