I've searched this thread and can't find any reference to where the bus station is in Madrid that one uses to get to Roncesvales. is it near the pureta del sol? thanks

Hi,
To get to Roncesvalles from Madrid on the bus, take the bus from the Avenida de Americas bus station to Pamplona and then get the bus from Pamplona. The website movelia.es will help you with timetables. There's lots of information here on the bus from Pamplona to Roncesvalles -- I haven't paid too much attention, but I think there's been a bus added to the daily 6 p.m. trip. Hope this helps.

Madrid doesn't have a central bus station as such. Barajas is an enormous airport but if you follow the signs - down the many escalators - to the Metro you will be able to get a fast trip into town to Estación de Avenida de América where the Alsa and Continental Auto buses leave from for Pamplona. Take a bus from there to Pamplona - about a 5 hour journey.
In Pamplona you then take another bus to Roncesvalles.
