I take my groups on a 3 week itinerary that you might find interesting. Maybe you can do some version of it. It hits the major cities. You start out and SJPP and go over the Pyrenees and you do the last 100 K Santiago. You can find the rough itinerary at this link.
PS: I am not fishing for...
Henry and J Willhaus, in all these years I've been flying into Madrid, I never knew about this bus!
Do I need to go to the "new bus station" to catch it or is it right outside the terminal? I actually need to get to Sol, not Atocha, and was going to nab the Cercanius. I wonder if it continues...
Yes, they are nice. I also love Caminofacil. I've used them for years.
I'm so happy your lodgings were cancelled without charge.
The Spanish are lovely people.
If I were younger, I swear I'd relocate.
I was told to just put in a Spanish number and so I put the number of a friend in there and I managed to buy my tickets but I’ll tell you what. I will never go through Renee again. I have the app and even though I paid for two tickets for four different train rides, it’s only showing one ticket...
Some will allow it, but most, in my experience, will not.
I just get a window seat and keep my eyes peeled at the stops.
So far, I've personally never heard of a pack being stolen from the bus.
That said, like J Willhaus said, I never put anything in my pack I can't afford to lose.
There are buses all day long from Lisboa, Terminal Rodoviário De Sete Rios.
To get there from the airport you can taxi or take public transport.
Are starting your walk from Fatima or just visiting it?
Which company are you using? I have used Caminofacil for years for my group trips. We stay in hotels, pensions, albergues with private rooms, casa rurales, and Caminofacil delivers and picks up our bags to all of those with no problems so far.
I bought a renfe ticket for 2 from Barcelona to Logrono.
I paid via Paypal €101.50
I did NOT click on the link to print the ticket because I'd never done this before and assumed they'd send a link in an email - they did not.
I went to the renfe site and put in my localizer number and got this...
Albergues are getting stricter each year so those who have done it before were lucky.
Their website says no... so what I would do is book lodging in SJPP, spend the night THERE, then take the shuttle up to Orisson next morning for coffee, and head on to Roncesvalles.
On the OTHER hand, have you...
I was able to access the list you are talking about.
But on the NEXT screen is where it asks for your telephone number and doesn't allow for the USA.
I just put in a friend's spanish number.
My latest problem is that when I booked my FIRST set of tickets from Barcelona to Logrono, I didn't...
I am trying to purchase a ticket from Madrid to Barcelona and when I get to the place to pay, it's asking for my telephone number but it does not allow me to put in my country code +01
What the heck are we supposed to do?
Is there a better place than the Renfe website to buy tickets?
I've...
