Time of past OR future Camino
planning to go on april 2019
Hi. I 've decided to go Camino this April, (which is like.. a week away!!!)
and flying to Barcelona. (couldn't miss Gaudi)

but I am having difficulties finding transportation methods from Barcelona to Leon.
and since Leon is big state, I would like to know exactly where I should ahead.

any help?
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
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.
 
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
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
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
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.
