Hi everyone,
This will be my second Camino. I'm going to fly from Australia to Paris (or maybe London). Can someone suggest the best city to fly into to access Leon as my starting place please?
Buen Camino

Madrid.

Leon has an airport but service to it is very limited; there are not flights to Paris or London.

AENA manages Spains airports. Find airline and destination information for each airport.

Renfe provides frequent service to Leon from anywhere Spain. Trains leave Madrid from Chamartin. Alvia trains make the trip in about 3 hours.

Join the Camino cleanup. Logroño to Burgos May 2025 & Astorga to OCebreiro in June
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Thanks guys - I will now fly Emirates straight to Barcelona and then take a flight into Leon. Saves time.
Happy New Year!
