Welcome Ginosar!
There will be lots of pilgrims around when you start, and you've chosen a lovely city to start in.
You'll find the walk a bit dull for the first hour or two until you get through the suburbs so don't be disheartened. Once you're out in the countryside you'll love it. I'd suggest taking the route via Mazarife to Hospital de Orbigo rather than following the road.
Buen Camino!

My sister and I are also starting in Leon, a few days behind you on June 14th. We are slow walkers so probably won't catch up to you.
I have wanted to go for six years after reading Shirley Maclaine's book. Only a few more weeks and I am very excited.
Today I trained with my fully loaded pack for the first time in heat and with my new pacer poles. All went well except when I stopped to pee in the sagebrush along a busy trail, forgot I had a pack on, my knees buckled as I tried to stand up in a hurry and the weight pitched me forward into the desert sand.

"Hi. I'm starting from Leon on the 14th. Perhaps we'll see each other on the way. Catherine Ann, are you flying into Madrid on the 13th? I am then taking the train to Leon where I will spend one night."
We are starting on the 13th from Portland, Oregon, USA and arriving in Madrid on the June 14th early morning. We are planning on taking the train from Terminal 4 to the train station in Madrid, and then taking the train to Leon. Nothing booked or set once we get to Madrid, just a plan. So it sounds like we will be one day behind you.
Where are you coming from? You would be welcome to travel with us if possible.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Ginosar do you have a Camino Forum patch? I have one on my red pack near the bottom. We may see you on the trail!

CatherineAnn- I bought a ticket from the Chamartin train station to Leon on the 13th. I think there is a new bus that goes from T4 to Chamartin, otherwise it seems to be 2 subways best I can tell. I planned to leave Leon on the 14th. I'll try to send you a prvate message with my stateside contact info. Maybe we can talk before we leave and compare notes. I'm so excited about going! I'm sure it's bound to be an amazing experience.
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
