transportation Madrid to ocebreiro

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Bus or train to Ponferrada, then bus to Piedrafita do Cebreiro. Walk or taxi the 5 km to O Cebreiro.
Or take the uber-cheap flight Madrid-Santiago, and the bus from there. Rome2Rio website is very helpful with these questions.
 
Hi @Alba M Diaz for sure you should take the ´cercanias´ local train from Barajas Madrid Airport (T4) to Chamartin Train Station Madrid then change onto the AVE high-speed train to Leon (in 2hrs) and from there take a bus to Ponferrada and follow the rest of the journey as per the recommendation by @Rebekah Scott You can buy the train from Madrid Airport to Leon in one purchase via the www.renfe.com website. ¡Buen camino!

In my last Camino I had really awful weather, so I decided to walk from Ruitelan to Piedrafita by the paved road (as cyclist frequently do); it was easy, but not particularly remarkable. Then, from Piedrafita to O Cebreiro, following, also the paved road. Great landscapes, almost no traffic, but anyway caution is advisable. About this latter walk, I am looking at Google Maps and see that there are paths that apparently connect to the Camino and O Cebreiro, avoiding the road. I don't know if someome has experience, it could be a useful resource; many people do this walk.

I think that walking the road to O’cebero is a waste of your sensual trek . Indeed it’s long and tough but the views and accent on a Roman road is priceless . I have traveled it about 6 times and your best plan would be the take alternate track , From you last night at Villafranca del bierzo catch the Pradela route (named after the village that you won’t reach) it high and wild but certainly worth the walk . It come down to the road , that you would have walked, about Dully if you went the regular way. When the trail heads up , it’s hard in places and stay at La Faba albergue which is about 4 miles from the top .then it’s a high and beautiful walk to ,Fun for Free, you will find it . Then on to Triacastra and Samos
