walked the first 84 miles in 2013; plan to walk another 110 in the fall of 2014.
We have a group of 9 traveling to Bilbao, arriving Tuesday, Sept.23 and wanting to travel to SJPP the morning of the 24th to hike to Orisson in the afternoon. What private transport companies are available? Van or minibus?
