Bilbao to St Jean transportation

Time of past OR future Camino
May - June 2025
Has anyone taken an Uber or cab from the Bilbao airport to St Jean PDP? I know there are public transportation options but am considering a quicker option. Thank you!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
That’s about 200kms and into another country! I doubt you’d find anyone willing to do it for less than 400€ given that they’d not get a fare to cover the return journey.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
When we walked the Camino Frances we flew into Bilbao, took the bus to Pamplona, and started walking. I was 71 then and did not want to start my first day in SJPP and have to walk up and over a mountain on my first day.
 
took the bus to Pamplona
Well done, I have done this, a great place to start.

Airport bus [every 20 mins) to Bilbao Intermodal (last stop so can't go wrong).

Buy bus ticked In advance ( https://laburundesa.com/ ) Bilbao Intermodal to Pamplona Bus Station (Iruña is Basque for Pamplona, though from memory, booking engine recognises both).

Buen Camino!


Plenty of restaurants around the Intermodal, so give yourself time. Bilbao and Pamplona are major University Cities so watch Friday evenings for bus bookings
