Bus to La Virgen Del Camino

Time of past OR future Camino
2006 to date: Over 21 Caminos. See signature line
Yesterday we pulled into Leon and I was surprised to see us at a brand new bus station I’ve never seen before because I usually walk into Leon.

In the past, we’ve caught a city bus across the street from the bus station to take us to Virgin Del Camino, but I’m wondering if this is still the case. Can anybody tell me exactly where to catch the bus and which number bus to catch divergent Del Camino if you have done this recently.

Depends where you are but I have always caught it on Gran Via San Marcos.

Alsa bus stop on map above. It’s a 10 minute bus ride.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I think the bus might start/end at Plaza St. Domingo. I investigated taking the bus but decided to walk. I should have taken the bus since the walk is not very pleasant after crossing the river at San Marcos.

A number of ALSA buses run from Leon to Virgen del Camino and on to different destinations, but all leave from Estacion de Autobuses immediately to the south of the railway station. Is this the new bus station? I was last there in 2019 and it looked fairly new (if basic.)
