how to get to leon

[Micko]

I am flying from Dublin to Santander, I need to know how can I get from Santander to Leon. What is the best or cheapest way. Any help with any info would be greatly appreciated. I am travelling in July 2011.

There is a coach service run by ALSA which takes around 4.5hrs and costs around €30 one way.

An alternative way is to get the coach to Burgos and then another coach to Leon

Alternative, if you LOVE travelling by train (and I mean LOVE). The narrow-gauge FEVE railway network connects Santander and Leon. Check here FEVE Ferrocarriles de vía estrecha

From what I can see there's a train that leaves Santander at 0800 and arrives in Leon 13 hours and 47 minutes later at 21:47.

Google maps says you can drive it in 3 hours.

Hi Just to follow up on the previous post, do you know if there is a direct coach to leon from santander. I am flying to Santander in April and all I can see in alsa is a coach to Oviedo and a connecting bus to Leon. Not a big deal but just considering options Cheers David
