Getting to Orbigo - easier from Madrid or Barcelona?

Time of past OR future Camino
Camino Frances June 2018 & June 2023
Well, it's almost time to start watching out for flights specials for next year.
We want to start by going to the Medieval Festival in Orbigo.
Is it going to be easier to get to Orbigo from Madrid or Barcelona .... or wont it make much difference?

Thanks
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Check/compare the basic routes/transports/times/costs to travel from both Madrid and Barcelona to Hospitall de Orbigo on www.Rome2Rio.com.

Do be aware that Hospital de Orbigo is a small village and that much accommodation for the 2018 medieval fair which usually is in early June may already be booked.

Here is their recent 2017 program.

Good luck and Buen camino!

Thanks for that transport link, I will check it out.
Hmm, it hadn't occurred to me that accommodation might be booked out this far in advance. I will get on to that before booking flights.
Thanks again, that's been very helpful.
