Introduction, with trip planning questions

[claudia castellani]

Flying from Santiago to Madrid is probably the best way to reach Madrid, at
least it is the most comfortable one.
The Compostela gives you the possibility to have a discount on Iberia
flights inside of Spain. But as the flight Santiago-Madrid can be terribly
expensive if not booked in advance, the Compostela-discount is not, in my
opinion, so useful.
You might check whether there are Spanish low cost companies that serve the
Santiago-Madrid route, I think there should be at least one.
Buen Camino,

Claudia
