Hi Irish rambler, greetings from Dublin
I walked the same part as you last yr. I can only speak for myself as I flew out of Dublin. You have a number of options. You can fly direct to Santiago de Compostela and get a bus / train to Leon, or fly direct to Madrid and travel again to Leon. Some airlines fly to Bilbao and a lot of people I know chose that option. I flew to Madrid with Ryanair and got an ultra quick train to Leon. Hope that helps! David.

Give yourself 14 days of walking and that will be fine. You can even take a day off in between depending on your seeped. I recommend you stay in Molinaseca if you can. Nice spot.
