If you haven’t checked the Alsa website lately, you can see that they have once again put back their 11:15 stop at T4. This is the same bus that you are planning to get from Estación Sur, but no need to go there now!Hoping to make a bus connection at 12pm from Estacion Sur to Leon, arrives 4pm.
Thanks for that tip, much appreciated. Hoping to get through security and passport control quickly..If you haven’t checked the Alsa website lately, you can see that they have once again put back their 11:15 stop at T4.

Do you know which terminal you are arriving in, @Walkingmad?arriving into Madrid 3rd September 2021 around 9.45am from Dublin to resume my Camino Frances from Astorga.
@peregrina2000 Yes I am arriving at T4 off Aerlingus from Dublin. Great to know Alsa are close by. Hoping all goes smooth and quick on arrival but at same time I appreciate things are very different right now and anything can happen on the day. I have the later train option if I don't make the bus options. Getting hopeful and excited now!Do you know which terminal you are arriving in, @Walkingmad?
If you are on Iberia or a partner, you will arrive in T4. The Alsa bus stop is outside on the arrivals level, very close to where you exit.
If you are on another airline, you will arrive in another terminal and will need to take the intra-airport bus. It operates every 10 minutes or so, and takes about 10 minutes to get to T4.
Oh that's great to hear. Thanks for reply.I flew into T4 at 8:15 on July 28. I caught the 915 ALSA bus to Oviedo. Fastest exit of the airport ever. Wishing you luck on your entrance experience.
Hi, I am arriving same date from Scotland to walk primitivo, had given up hope that it would actually happen so am now madly trying to get fit and organised! Will be gutted if it doesn't happen now! Best of luck to all our fellow peregrines, this will be the year!@peregrina2000 Yes I am arriving at T4 off Aerlingus from Dublin. Great to know Alsa are close by.

Do you know where exactly you catch this bus at T4? I'll be there in 24 hours and would appreciate any info you may have so that I can find it on the first try! The website is confusing as it's not clear as I go the the floor where there is the ticket office or to the floor where the "local" bus is.

In 24 hours I'll be arriving in Madrid and catching the 11:15 am bus to Leon. Overnighting in Leon and then taking the 8:15 am-9am bus to Astorga! I'm happy to give you any tips regarding that trip. The Leon bus leaves from T4 so I'm hoping it will be smooth going. Buen Camino!Hi Everyone, arriving into Madrid 3rd September 2021 around 9.45am from Dublin to resume my Camino Frances from Astorga. I will have my backpack on board with me. I am double vaccinated since June and will have all correct paperwork needed etc. Just wondering if any others who have flown into Madrid either from Dublin or other EU countries in last few weeks could comment on how fast or slow they got through passport/covid control? Hoping to make a bus connection at 12pm from Estacion Sur to Leon, arrives 4pm. Otherwise I plan to get fast Train to Leon at 2.40pm arriving at 4.45pm. I will then get another train or taxi to Astorga same evening. Just wondering what experience ppl have had in last few weeks arriving into Madrid Airport and if it is slow or fast to exit airport controls? Thanks everyone
All you have to do is leave the airport beyond baggage claim. Signs for the metro and train will point to the right, and you just go straight outside. Cross the taxi lane and you will see the bus bays.Do you know where exactly you catch this bus at T4?

Great to know... So they just let you jump on the earlier bus or did you have to change your ticket? Thanks for letting us know. I will be there on Monday! Slainte!I
Hi Jim, I had paid for 11am ticket but it was too late to try to cancel it. I bought a new ticket online for Astorga literally coming out the airport exits. Long journey though. Have a safe trip Monday and try to sit up front on plane if you can to get out earlier.Great to know... So they just let you jump on the earlier bus or did you have to change your ticket?

Have a wonderful camino! Are you planning to sleep in albergues? What about reservations?Start walking towards Santiago tomorrow
Also check Madrid airport arrivals online. It will give you an indication if there are many flights arriving at same time as your flight to T4/S. Buen Camino.Thanks very much for the advice... My plane is just over half full and I am up front, so looking good. I arrive at 9:50 and bus to Leon leaves at 11. Maybe I will use your trick, but my ticket is changeable, so I might just try to get on and ask them to change it! Ha ! Enjoy your Camino. Hopefully my wife and I will get to Ireland again in 2022, we love it there. Wouldn't mind moving there at all. Peace go with you!
I will be doing mostly private albergues. I use booking.com. I like to know what mileage I have to do to get from A to B each day and to know I have a place. That's just me.Have a wonderful camino! Are you planning to sleep in albergues? What about reservations?
