Is it best to buy a ticket ahead of time or is it ok to just buy it at the time I travel?
I've been looking at the renfe site and I can find Chamartin station but can't find Leon
as my destination….
Thank you.

Try Madrid(*) as origin and Leon as destination.

Apparently you can get discounts if you buy in advance.

Otherwise you can usually buy tickets just prior to travel. There have been some reports of lineups ... while the Spanish-language-only ticket machines go unused, but lineups are not the norm.

You can also buy tickets on the train ... but this is strictly a cash only transaction.

Yes, it is possible. There are at least six trains a day. Don't worry, it will work out!
