[KF]

Grant, thank you for posting all this information & keeping it up to date. I leave for my Camino on May 1 for the first leg from SJPdP to Burgos. I hope to finish the rest later this year.

  Devon,

Astorga is a reasonable place to start your Camino for the time available.

There are the two trains from Madrid to Astorga daily:

I think these are very inconvenient times to pull into town and would 
recommend the bus.

ALSA has about 9 buses daily from ESTACION SUR DE AUTOBUSES, which is at the 
Mendez Alvaro Metro station. Use http://www.movelia.es and plug in your 
date.

I have some Camino Frances maps which you may find useful as well:

Also these are some maps of cities on the Camino Frances:
