Need to get from Santander to ST. Jean Pied de Port

[bobfromcork]

Date of travel Thursday 2nd September 2010. Arriving 10 a.m at Santander airport. Travelling from Dublin with Ryanair. Trying to figure out how best to get to SJPP. Thinking of hiring a car to Pamplona and then making our way to SJPP. Not sure how best to do this. Two of us. Any suggestions welcome. open to all possibilities.
Thanks in advance,
BOB

Santander has a good train (FEVE) service as well as the (ALSA) bus station. You can check train and bus times online. You would probably need to change from train to bus somewhere. We went west from Santander so cannot help with the actual stages eastwards, bought our tickets at the station.

Also coach services are good. Don't forget to take a numbered ticket for the queue for tickets at the coach station. I would guess that there are plenty of buses to Pamplona. Search on here for info about a taxi service to SJPDP from Pamplona - I've seen it often.

Cafe in Santander bus station does delicious tortilla - a perfect first taste of Spain imho. And the bus station has wifi.
