My train will arrive in SJPP around 8:30 in the evening. This is my first time there and I have no clue on direction or where the property is where I am staying. Just the address. I just planned on letting google maps direct me there. Is that a good idea or should I get a taxi to take me? I...
Greetings! Flying in from Chicago 4/25; ORY to BIQ (17:40)...how do you best get to St. Jean & can I do it the same day, or should I book a hotel in Biarritz?
I'm planning to walk with a small group of first time pilgrims from SJPdP to Pamplona in mid May, then I'll head up to Bayonne to walk the Norte solo. Rome2Rio lists several options including train, bus, and ride share (Blablacar) but the train option seems pretty convoluted. I tried to check...

Hi,
I'm arriving into Biarritz at 10:45 tomorrow morning - 5th of April, and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting there that I can see. The trains are on strike? Can that be confirmed? And I'm also not sure of the bus timetable. I'm pretty sure they go from Bayonne. Can anyone provide an...
Back in 2013 my husband and I cycled the Camino. Ever since then we've wanted to walk and had intended doing so in 2020. Well, we all know what happened then. We are now looking at walking at least from SJPdP to Pamplona this year. We were thinking of using a train to get from London to SJPdP...
Hey everyone,
I will be arriving from Madrid into Pamplona Railway Station from at 1303 on Saturday 27th May and would like to share a taxi to SJJP. Has anyone a similar schedule? Happy to leave immediately or wait around a little.

I was just looking up the SNCF website to purchase tickets on the train for April 22 and the site says the trains are all fully booked already. I wasn’t expecting to have a problem getting tickets for the train! Is this usual or will they release more seats later? Or should I start looking...
Hello Fellow Pilgrims
My wife and I were due to arrive in Saint Jean on Saturday via train from Paris. We booked two nights accommodation in Saint Jean and planned to start walking on the Monday. Unfortunately France’s general strike has affected our plans. We have booked a driver from...
Hi everyone, sorry to ask on here but I’m really struggling to find an answer online.
I am due to land at 17.00 on Monday 20 March and hope to get a train/bus to StJPdP via Bayonne from Biarritz airport. However I’m struggling to find a non sponsored website that tells me this is ACTUALLY...
Hello all! Not what I expected for my first Camino, but you know what they say about best laid plans. Here’s the situation: I’ve been stuck in Paris for the past two days due to the national rail strikes (solidarité)! I just found out that the train I was hoping would get me from Paris to SJPDP...
I would like some opinions (from pilgrims who have done it) about the best way to get to SJPDP:
I have, myself, done the following:
Taken the bus from Madrid to Pamplona, then the bus to SJPDP
Taken the train from Barcelona to Pamplona, the bus to SJPDP
This year I am considering one of...
