Take the city bus from Plaza de Santo Domingo in front of the BBVA bank to La Virgen del Camino. Get off the bus at the last stop, and you will almost be at the split to choose Villadangos or Mazarife.quick reference to finding the bus that takes us close to the Camino where passes by Leon

If you are in the main plaza, you are very near the Way. You won't need a bus.Buenos Dias Pilgrims, my BFF and I are starting our first pilgrimage in Chicago tomorrow. Of course, the first 3 legs will be by plane, train and bus and the final leg will be on our legs After spending her 66th BD in Madrid, taking the train to Leon and spending the night, we will be taking a bus to the edge of Leon to join the path and start our journey to Santiago. We are staying around the main plaza in Leon. Would someone be able to give us a quick reference to finding the bus that takes us close to the Camino where passes by Leon? If you see 2 happy ladies skipping up and down the trail starting 9/20, that's us! Buen Camino!
Good question - it's mine too.Why cut off the start?
Same question over and over for me too.Good question - it's mine too.

It's not an ugly walk. First you see San Isidro again (or for the last time?), pass the San Marcos Parador/Plaza, cross the river... OK there is some pavement walking but you can stop at the shop or first/second cafe con leche (or beer) and there are nice bodegas before Virgen de Camino (see attached photo) and then you are already out in the country. Either going left or right.
I don't disagree, but repeat offenders may be happy doing it just once. I like the walk out of Leon, but do not like the walk into Burgos. Into Logrono is a drag; out of Logrono is great. Personal preference!!I agree, entering and leaving the cities is a wonderful part of the Camino experience, and Léon is a great city experience.

Brava for that clarity. Indeed.If you're on a scenic tour, take the bus.
If you're on a pilgrimage, walk.

Agree with this comment.Hmmm. I rather enjoy the walk out of town and into the country. Why cut off the start?
Walking out of Logrono I got lost!I don't disagree, but repeat offenders may be happy doing it just once. I like the walk out of Leon, but do not like the walk into Burgos. Into Logrono is a drag; out of Logrono is great. Personal preference!!
