For those of you that are on a tight budget , I took the bus from the main terminus in Avenda de Americana to Pamplona.

Here is the logic - It would have cost 50+ euros to stay in Madid ........... The evening meal , another 20 euros minimum............... train the next day ............ 50/60 euros.??

So if you are on a tight budget -this is the answer
28 euros , leave Madid at 01h00 and arrive at Pamplona at 06h30 - finished mind you ..... although the Pension ESCARAY provided a roomm for 20 Euros - clean and friendly.

good to know.
Not sure I want to be anywhere near Estacion Sur at 1 am, though!

One of the safest places in Madrid - security and police presance - never felt theatened and toilets opened and cleaned.

There are two people that I must meet - you and the Matron - so I will make my way to the Meste next year and also see the Matron at Maxima. :mrgreen:

Using this exact logic, I took the red-eye bus from Santiago to the Barajas Airport. It was the worst travel experience of my life! I found my limit for saving money; I will not do that again at any price.

Yes Falcon ; I agree - but so many people don't have the bucks - and was the Camino such a breeze??

What I am getting at is that we walk ourselves into a coma with feet that are blistered to Kingdom come? ...... but a long bus journrey....... HE he.
