I am walking Camino Frances this september. We start fra St Jean and have 15 days of walking before our return with Ryan Air from Valladolid. If we keep "normal" speed we probably end up somewhere between Fromista and Sahagun. Is it easy to find transport from this area to the airport? Should I look for a bus or a train?

You could check various posts with information about transport.

Check this for Alsa busses : http://www2.alsa.es/portal/index.asp?lang=en

and this for trains : http://horarios.renfe.es/hir/ingles.html

Both Fromista and Sahagun are small towns but have bus services. Sahagun has a train station, not sure about Fromista. In either cases you are not far from Leon; from there you can go anywhere.

From Sahagun you can take a train to Valladolid, it takes a few less than one hour, two daily trains. From Valladolid train Station to the Villanubla Airport I'm sure there's a lot of bus services. If you are interested I can ask a pilgrim friend of mine who lives in Valladolid.

Valladolid (Simancas) is part of the Camino de Santiago from Madrid to Sahagún. The Camino takes you beside the airport.

Buen Camino and warm regards,

Nellas,

The schedule of the buses to the airport from Valladolid busstation can be found inside the busstation: bussesschedule is linked with the departure-times of Ryanair.

Easy!
