Yes. If memory serves you need to go to terminal 4(on a bus or shuttle) and then get direct bus from there to Leon. I did it in August and just booked the bus while in the queue. They won't let you on bus without booking. Are you doing the Salvador?? It's amazing. Daniel

You can also take the train.
Take the cercanias train from the lower level in T4 to Chamartin station. Then take the train from there to Leon. There is a Renfe ticket office in Madrid airport T4

You will find that to book Alsa tickets from outside Spain you will need to have a PayPal account as they won't take a credit card for buying tickets. You will need to set up a user profile on the Alsa site as well.
Our experience with Alsa has always been very good.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Another recommendation for the Alsa bus from Terminal 4 at Madrid airport. Their website is easy to use, and I have no problem booking and paying for tickets with a South African credit card. I am also an Alsa Plus member, so I get discounts on future bookings.

Exactly what I did. Very easy using Cercanias to Renfe station. Booked my train tix ahead as well.
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

Not our experience from Canada on multiple trips over the years. Maybe it has changed recently.
