<BR>
<BR>I'm planning the Camino in Mid-April and I am trying to find the cheapest and most convenient way to start in St. Jean coming from North America. I was thinking of flying into Madrid and taking a train or bus. If anyone has done this, I would love some info. Should I just get a connecting flight from Madrid or should I fly into France and organized a more complex itinerary for my departure.
<BR>
<BR>I imagine there are trains that will take you from Santiago to Madrid.
<BR>
<BR>If anyone has a link to bus or train schedules in Spain, I would appreciate it. If in Spanish, it's okay.
<BR>
<BR>thanks
