Edinburgh to Leon

I'd like to walk The Camino in July next year. I'm an Aussie with a wedding to attend in Edinburgh. After posting the heels back my backpack will be ready for the Camino. I just need to know how to get to Leon. Can anyone help? Thank you so much in advance!

Leon is best accessed by bus or train; it is poorly connected by air. EasyJet goes from Edinburgh to Madrid. Renfe trains Madrid to Leon vary from 2.5 to 4.5 hours but service is frequent. Alsa operates buses direct from T4 Barajas airport (MAD) to Leon that take about 5 hours.

There are other airports that might work. There are lots of buses and trains that will connect; the problem will be frequency of flights. Here is Aena airport network.
