Howdy.
Looking for suggestions. So far the best I’ve found is a morning train from Madrid to Bilbao, bus to Bayonne and will probably spend the night, then from there up to St Jean the next morning.
Is there a better way? Thanks!
My flight arrives in Biarritz at 18:45 on Thursday 23 May. I have just booked Express Bourricot and they have confirmed they will pick up at 19:15 (their last pickup is normally 18:00). Hoping there are other peregrinos/peregrines arriving around that time to share the taxi and costs. Otherwise...
Hello. I arrive in Madrid on April 15th 9:05 am. Plan was to train to Pamplona then bus to SJPP. Why are all the bus routes on the Rome2Rio site 5 hours long. I keep hearing there buses that are around 2 hours. Where do I find these? Also I've never flown into Madrid. Does it take long to...
An all-year alternate route to SJPP instead of going through Pamplona.
If you're starting your trip in Madrid, there seem to be multiple buses every day from Madrid to Bayonne, France. A direct Bla Bla bus (6 hrs.), but sometimes ALSA is listed ( 9 hrs., with a connection). Various starting...
Just saw a post on Facebook from Paul Garland about this year's bus service from Pamplona to SJPDP. Sure that Paul won't mind my repeating it here:
"ALSA BUS have just PUBLISHED their SCHEDULES for the PAMPLONA to SAINT-JEAN-PIED-DE-PORT service, and are taking seat reservations for the route...
Hey everyone, I am planning to fly to Biarritz on 31.3.2024, arriving at 18:25 and I am trying to figure out how to get to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port after arrival. I have heard that there is a bus from Biarritz airport to Bayonne and then there is a train to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. But looking at...
Greetings! I'm going to be starting my the first installment of my camino journey this April, 2024. I'm planning to fly into Lourdes and spend 1 day there before making my way to SJPP. Would love to hear about anyone's experience doing this. Should I rent a car (which rental agency)? Easy...
When does bus service start from Pamplona to SJPdP? We arrive in Pamplona April 9, and hoping we don’t have to taxi. As Easter is early this year, I’m hoping service might start early too.
Hola fellow Pilgrims! I’m new here on the Forum so forgive me if this is a terribly redundant question, but I just heard back from Express Bourricot and they quoted me €130 for a shuttle transport from Biarritz airport to SJPDP. I’ll be a solo hiker needing transportation on April 23rd, 2024...
I've never taken the bus from Pamplona to SJPP. I always taxi.
Can anyone tell me specifically where the bus that goes from Pamplona to SJPP drops the pilgrims off?
I did a web search with the Alsa bus company for buses from Pamplona to SJPP. The response was that no buses run on this route. Is this correct or do buses only run during the warmer seasons?
Hi, What is the best way to get from Pamplona to SJJP? Last time I took a bus, but I am having a difficult time confirming a bus time for March 2024. It looks like maybe ALSA? Any help would be much appreciated. I think sharing a ride with other pilgrims might be a good option, too. Any...
Hi everyone.
I suppose this is a question more for my Canadian friends from Ontario. What is the best, fastest way to get to St. Jean in France from Ontario Canada?
Thank you.
Greetings,
I am arranging for a taxi or shuttle service on 17OCT2023 at 1900 (ish). Checking in to see if anyone else is traveling around the same time and interested in sharing the fare. I also have a room reserved at Hotel Itzalpea with two extra beds if anyone is interested in sharing the...
Hello everyone. Finally I have booked to fly to Paris from Australia. Do I book the train to Bayonne in advance or wait until I get there in case plane is delayed?
Do I take gaiters when I am taking rain pants?
Thanks for your help
Hi everyone, I arrive at Bilbao airport from UK at around 6.25pm on 2nd October and had hoped to make it up to Bayonne the same night, but I'm struggling to find options that work.
Plan was to overnight in Bayonne and get a morning train to SJPP for an early start.
Only thing I've found so far...
Hi I am exploring how to get from Pamplona to SJPDP to start CF at the end of October, Monday 30 Oct specifically. Unfortunately the ALSA Bus (1x / day) stops after 12 Oct. So looking into other ways there is of course a taxi for about 140 Euros. Which is more than I would want to pay, and...
Hello!
Can anyone provide any information on where the bus stop is from Biarritz airport to Bayonne?
I have purchased my train ticket Bayonne-SJPP, and I’d appreciate any pointers on navigating the bus and train journeys from the airport.
I’m not a city person to say the least.
Many thanks!
