    Transportation Madrid to St.Jean

    We took the bus from the Madrid airport then a car service to SJPdP (in 2014). We did have to change buses, somewhere so be careful. There were 3 of us so the car service wasn't cost prohibitive. We also spent the night in Pamplona before heading to SJPdP - something you might consider.

    Finished a few days ago... am I the only one who

    I laughed a bit when I readthis post. I walked with two of my children in 2014 from SJPDD and when we hit Sarria it was a clash of cultures. We were quite frankly probably somewhat surly since we were tired and near the end while the new ones were fresh and so excited and energetic. I think...

    We ended up staying in Gite Kayola which is just down the hill a bit from Orisson but we ate breakfast and dinner at Orisson. We had to do it because it booked up 2 months in advance so you definitely want to make a reservation.

    Some nights it was in the 30's (Fahrenheit) and some days I don't think it got out of the 40s. I was expecting more USA East Coast weather where it would be in the 40s at night and 60s during the day. I was told that it was unusually cold so it may not be like that usually. The weather was...

    Things that I would do differently

    I just got back and I would only change a few things 1. Pack rain pants. It only rained a couple of days but we had downpours that were pretty impressive. 2. Go slower. We mostly followed Brierley's 33 day schedule with 2 days of rest I couldn't do it this time with my work schedule but if my...

    Anyone else heading out in early May, 2014?

    Hi Patricia - I was hoping you were leaving from St Jean because I lived in Caracas 25 years ago and would love to see a Venozolana after so many years. I'm Laura and starting from St Jean on May 17th with two of my children. I can hardly wait!
