So excited!!! I fly from ATL to Madrid on 8/26. I'll take the train to Leon where I'll start my Camino. Everyone says that Leon is a great place to explore, but I have a feeling that I'll be antsy and want to start walking.
Thank you Margaret & Falcon! Flights have been booked, so in/out of Madrid is pretty fixed. Regarding the train/bus, is it advisable to pre-book the transportation? Yes, getting very excited!!
Hola! I start my first Camino at the end of August. Since I only have 3 weeks off from work, I plan to start in Leon. From the US, I will fly to Madrid on the 27th. Is it easier/more advisable to take the train or bus to Leon? Do I need to book my ticket in advance? On the return to Madrid...
Bob, I'm taking the same route at the end of Aug. Are you flying into Madrid? If so, how are you getting to Leon - bus? Train? You're start is just days away :)
Linda, thank you for your post. What size Aura do you have - the 50 or 65? What type sleeping bag? You said it was too thin....did you get cold? This all very new to me....planning on starting in Leon in Sept.

Fishern1, have you figured out how you are getting from ATL to Leon? I hope to walk the same path in Sept and haven't even started thinking about travel over to Spain, yet. Laura
