I'll be heading for my first Camino (CF) in late April 2015. I've read a lot about the various routes to get to SJPDP but was just curious for those who have travelled from afar....
I'll be flying in from Sydney.
So given the choice, would you consider Paris or Madrid as being the best 'Port of Entry'? i.e. how easy it is to get to SJPDP from either.
My thought at the moment is probably Madrid, with fly/train/bus options to Pamplona and then taxi to SJPDP.
But I'm just curious to hear from those who have done both options, whether fly/train to Biarritz/Bayonne and train to SJPDP is actually an easier option.
I guess I could always go in via one and out via the other.... Not too bothered about the relative costs, more the 'lower hassle' option....
P.S. I say 'I' because this will now be a solo journey. For those who I've had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know on this forum, Pat will not be up to it Health wise sadly. Nothing too serious, but she won't be Camino fit.
P.P.S. Of course the good news is...I can now travel a lot lighter and faster...
