    Renting a car to get to Astorga?

    Thanks for the info all. The fact that there doesn't seem to be a rental car office in Astorga (as per my searches as well), kinda puts a block on this idea. Oh well! Just thinking about how to get to the starting point easier/faster/more economically. Thanks! Looks like the bus is still...

    Renting a car to get to Astorga?

    Hello all, Thanks for all the great info on how to get to Astorga from Madrid. Right now, the frontrunner is the morning bus that gets us in around noon. However, if my friends and I wanted to drive ourselves from Madrid to Astorga, is it possible to rent a car for a one-way journey. It'd be...

    Is there a train from Madrid to Astorga?

    I'm having a problem with both I think. When I put in my dates and my starting point/destination I get an error page, no matter if that is for a date in May, or a date at the beginning of February.

    Is there a train from Madrid to Astorga?

    Thanks, since there are a few of us traveling perhaps it will be best to get the tickets in advance. As an aside, I'll keep an eye on renfe as well. I've never been able to have it give me a succesful response for a ticket/timetable request regardless of if I am looking or a ticket next week...

    Is there a train from Madrid to Astorga?

    The bus sounds good to me then! So, an 8am bus sounds like the ticket. Is there only one main bus station in Madrid? Do I need to buy my tickets online, or is it best to just get them there in person (my Spanish is likely to be a stumbling block)?

    Is there a train from Madrid to Astorga?

    I'd be tempted to start walking at 3:15. Ha! Perhaps then taking a train/bus the next morning would be the best way to go. Which is usually faster? We'll have to get to Astorga and start walking that day, so the earlier the better! So an 8am bus or a 10:12 train...

    Is there a train from Madrid to Astorga?

    I guess the title says it all. Traveling from the US and land in Madrid at 9:15pm on Monday, the 4th of May. Trying to figure out how to get to Astorga from there. I prefer either a late train that night, or an early one the next morning. I keep getting errors on Renfe's site. Any advice?

    Trying to start in Leon and save a few bucks!

    I'm looking to plan a camino from Leon to Santiago in early April. I'm (obviously) trying to travel on as good a budget a possible. Right now, it is looking like I have the most choices in flying from the US if I fly to either London or Paris, and then grab cheap one way flights for either end...

    Anyone do round trip out of Madrid?

    Hello all, In planning for a possible camino I am looking first at flights to see what the major chunk of my budget will be. It seems that it is far more economical to fly both in/out of Madrid rather than arrive in Madrid and depart from Santiago. The schedule will only allow for about two...
