Easiest Suggested Way to make it to El Capricho in Leon
I am planning a trip from Toronto to Madrid, just to make it over to a restaurant named, El Capricho in Leon, for one night to try the steak. This restaurant is apparently in Jimenez de Jamuz,a small village near La Bañeza, in Leon.
So, the sole purpose of the trip is to go to this restaurant and stay near by. What do you recommend in terms of logistics for transportation and hotel location? I really rather not rent a car as I a bit of a nervous driver if foreign countries, but I guess there is no other practical option? Is my best landing point Madrid from Toronto? Where should I stay the night in terms of convenience?

I agree with LupineChemist that a rental car is the easiest option. No need to be nervous about the drive, which is very easy on a good motorway.
However, if you really want to avoid driving, you can get a direct bus from T4 of MAD airport to La Bañeza (and I guess a taxi between La Bañeza and the restaurant). You can book the bus in www.alsa.es
