    Best way to return to Barcelona from Leon or Burgos.

    I will be walking the Camino Frances starting from STJPDP May 9 and have 18 days to walk. By my estimation, I will end up somewhere between Burgos and Leon and need to return to Barcelona for a late morning flight back to Canada on May 28. What is my best option? Thanks
