Camino de Madrid Pilgrimage Hike

Welcome to our Camino Madrid blog!  

The Camino Madrid, is a lesser-known but equally captivating route of the famous Camino de Santiago, offering a unique opportunity for pilgrims and hikers alike to connect with faith, nature and history in Spain. Starting in Madrid, this trail takes you through picturesque landscapes, charming villages, and historical sites, leading all the way to the renowned Camino Francés. Unlike the more crowded routes, the Camino Madrid provides a peaceful and reflective experience, making it ideal for those looking to slow down and embrace both spiritual and physical challenges. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a first-time pilgrim, keep reading to discover why the Camino Madrid should be your next adventure.

Over the span of 12 days in April, we completed this 322 km pilgrimage route from Madrid to Sahagun, Spain where we joined with the Camino Frances.  It was a wonderful experience that was unlike any of our previous pilgrimages over the years.  

After completing the Camino Madrid we continued our walk on the Camino Frances for 2 days, hiking from Sahagun to Leon.  From there we walked the Camino San Salvador to Oviedo, before trekking the Camino Primitivo to Santiago de Compostela.

Thank you for reading, and 'Buen Camino!
