    Travelling from Barcelona to Sarria

    Just a suggestion. Fly Ryanair to Santiago, then bus to Lugo and Sarria. It could be cheaper and quicker. Use rome2rio.com for details Buen Camino.

    Madrid to Hontanas - travel advice welcomed

    I have travelled by bus from Burgos to Castrojeriz and the bus left Burgos at 17.30 and arrived at Castrojeriz about 6.45pm so plenty of time to walk in daylight back to Hontanas.

    who knew it would cost so much!

    As someone else has noted, you are trying to book too early. I have just looked at www.google.com/flights. They have prices Auckland to Madrid return in May and June for $1300 to $1500. Look at the price graph for May and June. They do not have prices for Dec and Jan yet

    Transportation from Lisbon to Seville via Caceres?

    Caceres is a wonderful, beautiful, interesting city at least 2000 years old, worth at least a day, Personally I would never arrive in a city at 03.15 in the morning in the dark, possibility few taxies to get you to all-night hotel. I would always take the daytime bus, with the added advantage...

    Heathrow transit time?

    Don't forget that arrival time is the time the plane touches down on the tarmac. It can sometimes take 15 mins before you get off the plane.

    There is a direct bus service from Santiago bus station to Sarria bus station. It depends on which day of the week, but Monbus dep Santiago at 1500 and arr Sarria bus station at 17.50. Fare eur12.50. This seems ideal for your needs. Presumably you will travel from Porto to Santiago by ALSA bus...

    Travelling from Biarritz to St Jean

    Yes there is a bus that takes you to the train station in Bayonne. I am not sure of the train times, but I am fairly sure there is a train from Bayonne that takes you to SJPDP arriving about 7.30pm, which makes the departure from Bayonne about 6.45pm. The airport bus leaves from outside the...

    Traveling from Paris to Bayonne

    I flew to CDG one year and had to change to Orly for my flight to Biarritz. CDG is west of Paris and Orly east. Wait time for the bus was half an hour, the bus journey took one and a half hours on the major ring road and allow half and hour check in time at Orly, so factor that into your total...

    Any Way Around the Return Trip Ticket Requirement in Portugal?

    Embassies in many countries state this and airlines try to enforce this (They have a profit motive). However I have made many one way flights to a lot of countries (at least 30) and I have never been asked to provide proof of my exit from a country.

    Quickest way to Estella from Madrid or Bilbao or Lourdes

    The ALSA buses to Pamplona stop at Estella. When I was hospitalero during Oct 2015 in Estella there were no albergues providing dinner, but there are few restaurants in the town centre providing meals. Ask the hospitalero at your albergue/hostal for exact locations.

    Getting from Bayonne to st Jean De Pied de Port

    Stephanie, It is almost certain there will be other pilgrims on your flight; just casually look at passenger's feet on the plane or when disembarking and hook up with them. They will probably need reassurance as well as yourself.

    Advice needed- re arrival plans

    GWNN. I see that you are from Victoria, which means a long flying time from either Canada or Australia, and it's consequential jet lag. If you arrive on 1 June, and immediately start travelling to St Jean on that day or 2 June, you will feel like death warmed up if you start walking on 3 June. I...

    Travelling from Biarritz airport to SJPdP

    You could use a taxi if you are in a big hurry, but it will be expensive something around 120 euros

    Get to st jean pied de port from canada

    I forgot to reply to your question about a bike, and I am sorry that I cannot give you a definite answer. But I have met two pilgrims on bikes they had obtained whilst on the Camino. One man hired his bike and it cost a lot of money, something like 350 euros. The other bought his new bike for...

    Get to st jean pied de port from canada

    As others have said, consider your return flight. IMHO, I would fly to Madrid, then bus or train Pamplona and bus to St Jean. When your Camino is finished, it is easy to get from Santiago to Madrid by train or bus. To get the cheapest flights, use Skyscanner which will show the cheapest flights...
