Hello Everyone, I am flying into Madrid on April 10th and taking a train to Leon to start the walk the following day. This is my first time doing the Camino. Unfortunately I could not take too much time off from work so I decided to do the last 200 miles. I will have to return back to Madrid to fly back to NYC on April 27th. So that's 15-16 days. I want to do as much of the route as I can so I have the option of starting at Burgoss or another smaller town before Leon as well. Do you think that's enough time? Or should I just stick to Leon to Santiago?
I see there are several trains from Madrid to Leon but I might miss the 14:40 especially if I am landing at 13:05. Not sure how long it will take to go through customs and take a train to Charmartin station. So if I take a later train, it won't get to Leon until closer to 9 PM. I know I should reserve a albergue ahead of time. Do they take reservations that late? Question is, are there any affordable places close to the train station so I don't have to worry about finding my way around Leon. I am a female traveling by myself for the first time and I am a bit nervous.
Is there anyone else traveling to Leon at that time or stopping at Leon that day to continue the walk the following day? I would like to have some company. I really appreciate any help from you all.
Buen Camino!!!
