Where to fly? Luggage?

I'm flying to Spain from Peru in order to start El Camino de Santiago. It's a lot cheaper to fly into Barcelona or Madrid and travel to Irun (my starting place) from there. Can I take a bus/train from Madrid or Barcelona to Irun? How long would it take/how much would it cost?

Also, is there any affordable way to store some of my luggage before starting?
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

There is a bus from the Madrid airport to Irun.
 
There's a really handy overnight bus (if you're comfortable with sleeping on a bus) from Barcelona Nord to Irun. Drops you off around 7am. There's another bus that departs Barcelona in early afternoon and gets you to Irun at night.
