Fuencarral is technically still Madrid — a neighbourhood on the city's northern edge that you'll walk through in the first couple of hours. There's a metro station here (Line 10), which makes it a convenient alternative starting point if you'd rather skip the inner-city walk entirely.
You'll find bars for a coffee stop, but most pilgrims push through without lingering. The real transition from urban to rural happens just beyond here, once you pass under the motorway.
The Road
The path through Fuencarral is still partly urban — you'll walk past the cemetery and along the Camino de la Cañada, which marks the boundary between the city and the open country ahead. From here, the landscape changes quickly as you enter the fields.
