<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Hi: I am an 57-year old Australian woman living in southern California. I am planning to walk the Camino alone beginning on or around the 1st June of this year. I have many questions to ask but fear that these mundane queries have been answered over and over again. However, today I tried to access listserve's archives, but to no avail. Is there a secret to it that I am unaware of.

<BR>Perhaps someone would be good enough to answer a couple of really pressing questions that I have. What is the best way to get from Madrid to Pamplona, and then eventually SJPP - and can it be done it one day. Another is, where can I find Bravo Lozano's guide. Yesterday I called the NYC Tourist office only to be told that they didn't have it? Does anyone know of a fairly nice but reasonable place to stay in Madrid close to the train station or bus station for the journey to Pamplona. One more then I'll stop. How do you obtain the shell insignia that identifies you as a pellegrino (I have the passport).
