Time of past OR future Camino
April 2025
I'm looking forward to starting my First Camino in April . I will land in Madrid airport at 10 AM 18 April and I would like to take a train to Leon.
Do I need to book a ticket in advance?
How long in advance is it possible to book?
On which website or App you recommend?

Buen Camino for all !
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Looking at trains for this coming Thursday https://venta.renfe.com/vol/search.do?c=_w38J I would suggest pre-booking is advisable.

https://www.renfe.com/es/en is the website I use.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-

My wife and I flew into Madrid in April last year and did not reserve and had no issues buying a train ticket to Leon on a Thursday morning. I’m sure some days are busier than others and you might want to check if any festivals are happening in Leon. Buen Camino!
 
Thanks for the good advice
