SJPP Market

[StFina]

I will be leaving SJPP on Monday, May 29, 2017. I need to buy lunch for my walk to Orisson and heard that there is a very good outdoor market on Monday to buy sandwiches, meat and such. Does this exist, and if so where? In the alternative, I arrive by train that morning in SJPP. Is there any sort of market between the train station and the pilgrim office? - Thanks - Steve

The outdoor market in SJPdP is held at the Place des Remparts.
There is no large store for food between the rr station and the Pilgrim Office at 39 rue de La Citadelle. However there are food shops on the rue d'Espagne which is the continuation of rue de La Citadelle as you first go west out of town on both caminos.

The shops Meredith mentions will make you sandwich for the next day, they generally do not open before 9am. However there are a few cafes on said street open for the pre-dawn rush.

It's not necessary to leave SJPDP before 9:00 if one is just walking to Orisson. I left around 11:00 and arrived at Orisson in the early afternoon.

True, unless you have your heart set on a lower bunk.
Besides it is fun sitting on the deck on a sunny day, taking in the expansive view of the lower Pyrenees and cheering on the pilgrims slogging their way onto Roncevalles.

Most people don't need to stop for food between SJPP and Orisson.
There are plenty of shops in SJPP to get food, but Orisson has GREAT soup and sandwiches!
