You need to be aware that Oviedo airport is Asturias airport and is approx 40 kms from Oviedo itself. There is public transport - so long as it is not a late flight.Thank you all! Will plan on the train but am going to check out flights to Oviedo as well. Love this forum!
In May we are flying from Boston Massachusetts, or Hartford Connecticut, planning to fly to Madrid, then take the train to Oviedo (last September we took that train to Leon to start the San Salvador and understand we can continue further to Oviedo). Does anyone have a different suggestion for a destination city in Spain and the route from there to Oviedo? Or would Madrid and the train be the best way to do this?
We've found that out years ago, and if not, added flights from/to Madrid in Spain have been inexpensive. Worth your while for example on Sevilla and Pamplona connections (Iberia tickets extensions)[...] It's funny that prices to/from smaller airports sometimes are better than RT Madrid tickets..
It's something like 3 1/2 hours. We decided to take the train because it was faster than checking in for another flight (which for us would have been 2 hours later), waiting around to board, and then having to wait and take a bus after arriving in Asturias airport. Plus we enjoy the train rides in Spain. Very spacious seats and pretty scenery. We stayed at the AC Mariott that is at the train station in Oviedo so we literally got off the train and walked less than 10 minutes to the front desk. That very street is also the route so when we started the walk we just stepped outside the hotel onto the sidewalk and were on the trail. We went to the Cathedral the day after arriving and picked up our credenciales, walked around the cathedral, shipped our after Camino luggage to Ivar and relaxed from our 36 hour travel to SpainDoes anyone have an idea of how long the train trip is from Madrid to Oviedo? Trying to compare the timing with flying Madrid to Asturias and taking a bus to Oviedo. Of course, when we are ready to commit to tickets, the pricing will play a part as well.
How far is the railway station from Madrid Aiport and what is the fastest way to get there please ? Am landing at Madrid airport in the late afternoon and wonder if I should rush to the railway station of catch the domestic flight instead. Planning to travel in August but the Iberia website doesn't seem to have the flight schedule for Aug yet
If you buy your train ticket ahead of time for Oviedo, the train ride from the airport to the Chamartin station is free and relatively short. It's not far, about 15 mins max by train. Longer by taxi since you have to wait for one and then get through traffic.How far is the railway station from Madrid Aiport and what is the fastest way to get there please ?

Can anyone give a personal recommendation for an affordable, slightly-nicer-than-an-albergue guesthouse where my partner and I could stay the first night, before we start the camino the next day?
