There are buses and trains. Try rome2rio.com for info.

Leon is also the capital of the province of Leon/Castile. You'd be heading there if that's where you want to start walking. All caminos go past the cathedrals and/or oldest church in a town, so you can find route markers there.

I'd fly, it is fastest and for not much more. Everything else takes 8-13 hours.
per above ... rome2rio.com
IBERIA; 2:05-3:30pm $165/return per Google Flights

Getting to León is the easy part, assuming you must return to Barcelona will take even longer.

We started our 1st Camino from Leon in 2017. Train from Paris to Barcelona then to Leon via Zaragosa. The leg from Zaragosa follows much of the Camino to Leon. Obviously this option adds time on travel but great way to see the country.
