[Gocamino] Madrid Hotel?

[Walt Lersch]

Eileen,

Sadly, I had to cut my Camino short in Logrono in the middle of May this
year.  I took the bus from Logrono to Bilbao, where I few on to Paris and
the USA.  There was no train service to Bilbao.  I strongly suspect there is
no/limited train service to Madrid.  You will want to understand if you are
taking a "local" bus to Madrid or an express/non stop.  The difference in
transit times will be significant.  The bus I took was speedy and
comfortable.

While in Logrono I stayed at the Hotel Daniel. VERY modest, but only cost 20
euro.  I was comfortable and I felt safe.  The Bar Garcias across the street
was a good find and there were other interesting looking places to eat in
the same street.  The hotel is a short +/- 20 minute walk from the bus
station and you pass the very helpful Tourist Office on the way.

My daughter and I will be walking as much of the Camino as possible this
October--she only has a bit over a week, so it will only be a start.  Our
plane home from Madrid leaves at noon on Oct. 14. I think we'll be in
Logrono about then.  So if anyone knows the best way to get from Logrono to
Madid, we'd love some advice.  And if it looks like we should stay overnight
in Madrid the night before we leave, are there any hotel recommendations?
