Madrid to Irun

[raydercha]

I'm curious if an alternative route to Irun from Madrid is advisable for tomorrow considering I'd be passing through Pamplona in full swing of the San Fermin festival?

I don´t understand your question. You can take the train from Madrid, direct to Irún. It goes by Burgos and Vitoria.
Pamplona is not on the way, unless you want to go there.
Buen camino!

Bus worked fine too; right from T4 Barracas to Irun, takes about 6.5 hours, comfortable ride.
Buen Camino

I found the direct train. I'd thought I read somewhere that I had to go to Pamplona then to irun that way?

There are two routes ... one via Burgos and Vitoria ... the other via Zaragosa (a transfer point) and Pamplona (merely a stop along the way). Which route the train takes doesn't matter ... your destination is Irun.
