Time of past OR future Camino
Camino del francis 2023 to continue in 2024
Hi my flight arrives in Madrid T1 on Friday 19th July at 19.35 and trying to get the train to Leon from Chamartin Clara Camp station which leaves at 20.24. What's the chance of making the connection? Is the connection time too short? TYIA
 
Best lightweight pocket guides
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
I’m sorry but you have no chance whatever of making that connection unless you can teleport. Flight landing times are “wheels on ground” not through the gate, border control, and any necessary transit between terminals.
In your circumstances I think I’d be planning a night in Madrid somewhere close to Chamartin and an early train next day

Buena suerte

Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I think you can get a bus from terminal. At least that's what I did but Terminal 4 is quite a bit away from Terminal 1

I don't think the bus leaves at a compatible time, but it could be. (You should check.) 4 hours about in travel time, you can sleep in the seat.
We arrived in the morning and took the midday bus. It's an express, there was only one stop.
 
Just flew in this morning to Madrid and even though I only had a two minute wait at immigration and carried my pack on the plane to avoid waiting for baggage that hoof from terminal one to the metro is time consuming. I'm staying fairly close to Charmitin and will meet my hiking partner at the station to grab the 0940 train tomorrow to Leon. I find that a day in Madrid helps beat back some of the jetlag incurred coming from the US.

It takes 45 minutes by bus to get to the station. Plus the time you wait outside for the bus
