I am arriving Santiago on September 15 and my flight home is from Madrid on September 17 at 19: 30. There does not seem to be any good options. Does anyone have a suggestion.
Also wondering where would be a great place to stay.
Thank you for your help.
Thanks for all the wonderful responses. I did check air with Ryan and Iberia. Unfortunately the flights are super early and get in early too. The options that arrive closer to my flight home on the 17th fly through Barcelona and are closer to $150-$200 and take 6.5 hours. The train option arrives at the airport 6.5 hours before my flight. The buses are 8 hours or more. I was just hoping for something unusual that I may not have been aware of.
Thank for the recommendations for lodging and timing of purchases for trains.
The train option gets you to Madrid Chamartin first of all. From there 30 minutes on the metro and you’re in downtown Madrid. You could be in the Prado by 1430 for a couple of hours.
There’s an excellent bus from Atocha station (15 mins walk from the Prado) to the airport every 15-20 minutes.
Pardon me for saying - but if you’ve ruled out walking, planes, trains and automobiles - perhaps your expectations are a little ahead of what’s available.
Anyway - it’s late summer and you're on the Camino and close to Santiago. That’s better than most of us right now.
Via con Dios.
Don’t even think about it! If Apple would let me I’d have typed that as all one word.I did find a 5.5 hour train that gets me to Madrid airport at 18:00. My flight back to Boston leaves at 19:30. Does anyone know if the trains run on time? Is 1.5 hours enough time? I am TSA pre.
So when I see on the website from Santiago to madrid airport, it really means Madrid city center?? That changes my opinion.
I love to walk and the Camino has been fantastic.
