Hello All,
I have had a question in mind for months but have been hesitant to post as I know it may have already been addressed. Please believe me, I have been learning so much from these forum posts and have read much already about winter on the camino Frances. Please forgive me if this is redundant. Here is my situation that I'd like your opinion about:
- I arrive to Barcelona late at night on 1 March (Saturday) and I'm hoping to be in SJPP by Sunday evening (earlier is better, I'd love to see the town).
- I've had a bad experience with taxis(not in Spain) and they are not my preferred mode of transport. I can take them if I must, but just considering all the options would you recommend:
1) early train from BCN to PAM, then taxi to SJPP, (because from this forum I've learned that the bus from PAM probably will not be running this early in the year), or
2) early flight to BILBAO (arriving at 8:30am, and only about 30 Euros) and then patch together trains and buses to SJPP, or
3) another option
Does the Bilbao flight seem like I am over complicating things or would this be a great option for someone will to work harder to get to SJPP a bit earlier? I appreciate any advice you all have, especially those that have made the route in late winter. Thank you!!!!
