Camino Del Norte August 2024
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the best way to get from Bilbao to San Sebastian when I arrive at the airport? I am hiking the Camino del Norte all of August and am trying to get the details in order :). Thank you.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
There is a bus from the airport to SS, but I do not know the schedule or cost.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Really useful link. I had not realised there were that amount of connections from Bilbao Airport... thanks ☀️
Very easy to navigate also. Once you pass the baggage return and exit the secure part of the airport, make a right turn and proceed to the end. There are a couple of machines there (look like ATMs) to purchase tickets for the next bus (every 15 min after the hour). I used a debit card for my purchase, as it didn't like the first credit card I tried. Once your purchase is complete, the machine prints out a small receipt which is your ticket.

The bus departs from just outside the doors where you buy the ticket. When I did it my bus was already parked there. Bus driver arrived a few minutes before departure and checked everyone's ticket as the boarded. It's open seating.

Edit: Bus only makes one stop (about 15 min outside of San Sebastián) and then proceeds into the city.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
