I’ve just finished in Santiago and the train to Madrid was fully booked over a week ago. I booked Ryan air which only cost me 43euro for flight (2 carry on but checked bag would have been 40euro more). FYI every hotel/Hostal I’ve stayed in (didn’t use albergues) is fully booked through...
Thank you so much for remembering me and thinking about these details. I have plans to meet someone in Leon -- albeit for a day and 1/2 but hear Leon is definitely worth seeing. My very best regards.
I've got foot and timing issues. I'll need a car/driver from Leon [March 21] to Sarria [many reasons why bus, train, etc. won't work] I've looked at private car service and will pay the cost but it's expensive. Local Leon Hotel has no recommendations. Does anyone out there know of private...
Are there any “nice” hotels/suburban towns near Madrid airport that would allow for a walkabout, decent food, something to see/do? Must come from Santiago and overnight for late morning flight to US. I’m not opposed to staying in Madrid if there’s a section closer to airport.
I’m having difficulty using trainline (which I ve used for many trains in Spain) finding a fast train from Santiago to Madrid on March 28. Any suggestions? I’m in USA and must use credit card.
I’m searching for a train from Madrid to Leon on March 19. Please confirm for me which train station I must use. And if you have specifics please include.

I’ll be staying in Leon for two days @March 19/20th. Would like private pensioned/small hotel/upscale accommodation recommendations. Single woman/traveling alone/poor Spanish but tries hard. I’m coming from Madrid (via USA) and want to get over jet lag. After Leon I’d appreciate recommendations...
I overnighted in Paris and did exact same itinerary- found a reasonable hotel because no offense but last time I stayed in adult hostel was disgusting - full disclosure I’m 66, world traveled and don’t do hostels anymore
Thank you. My fellow walker who has done the Camino Frances guided me through the trainline.com site and it was EASY... I've got both the TGV from Pais to Bayonne and inter train from Bayonne to SJPDP... I also went ahead and made my reservation to Madrid.
