Hello,
I am arriving in Madrid airport very early in the morning (6:35 am). Do you think they'll be a problem catching a 9:30am train from Madrid-Charmartin? Thanks

Thanks everyone. I am arriving from Boston on Iberia-so I believe I'm arriving in T4. I was not planning on checking bags-except that I'm not sure if I can bring hiking poles on w my carry-on, so my choice might be to check a small bag or to buy trekking poles in Leon. I will be there for 2 nights to acclimate before starting to walk. Any thoughts on that as well? thanks again
Laurie,
Thanks for the helpful advice. Do you have collapsible hiking poles? I'll probably be taking a flight out of Santiago and I read they make you check poles, so a small duffle is a great idea even if my US flight is ok. I'm traveling with my teen daughter, so we might even send some clothes on to Santiago. After our Camino, we're spending some more time in Europe and she's already said she wants a few more changes of clothes.
I've never been to Leon (or Spain for that matter), so I'm looking forward to having a full day there before starting out.
