<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">I am leaving for Madrid on May 13 and trying to start the Camino from St. Jean Pied du Port once I get there. Can anyone help me with info on how to best get to St. Jean from Madrid? <BR>
<BR>
Also, I have a question as to whether I should have any concerns as I leave my backpack at the refugios to go see the history or out to eat. I am traveling by myself (63 and recently retired). Any other tips gratefully accepted. Thanks.<BR>
