Best way to get from Madrid to Carrion de los Condes

I'm picking up my Camino journey where I left off last year. I'm flying from the States and I haven't purchased my plane ticket yet but I'm thinking of flying into Madrid. Are there regional airports in the area or should I just find a train and then bus? I only recall a bus station there if my memory serves me correctly.

Thanks!

2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Thank you, Trecile. I regret I posted this comment as I quickly realized I could have figured this out on my own.

As an aside, I FOLLOWED SO MUCH OF YOUR ADVICE last year when I embarked on my first Camino. You are an invaluable resource of this forum. Thank you!

A couple of years ago I took a train from Madrid Chamartin to Palencia and then took a taxi to Carrion. I think that the taxi was about about €35.

That makes sense as the two are some 40km apart and in Spain usual taxi fare is 1€/km.

Hello we travelled this journey in July this year. We went charmartin as said above and then a bus to Palencia. There is a bus to carrion de los condes which is less than 3€ but dosnt run on a saturday. Therefore we had to take taxis and because there was 5 of us we had to take 2 taxis and we were charged 56€ for each taxi.
 
Good to know about Saturday! Thanks so much! The taxi seems expensive, too!

Sorry my husband has just reminded me that there is a bus on Saturday but the last one is 13.30 and we arrived about 15.00. We think the taxis knew we were desperate to get to carrion and possibly made a small profit
