is this even a possibility ? Thanks so much
Yes it is possible, at the cost of an arm and a leg if this is not an issue.is this even a possibility ? Thanks so much
Also, should say, that on the bus from Pamplona to SJPDP, there was 5 pilgrims that took that bus. This spaniard guy hops on and super joyful looks at me sitting in front of the bus and shout "Hola mi amigo, qué tal?" ... big smile and all!! Did not talk much on the buse, but kinda chated a bit he did not talk a work other that Spanish, and my Spanish was elementary at that time)... but when we go to SJPDP, everybody seeemed lost, so I told him to follow me and that we'd find the office together. From there on he became by best friend for two weeks (he stopped after 2 weeks..).... we still communicate more than a year after...is this even a possibility ? Thanks so much
No wonder he looks happy!!!Absolutely Yes,. My wife and I took a taxi ( taxi navarra +34 689 80 01 52 , Juan) in Sept 2014 ( $750 flat rate ) Sound pricey?.. Well, yes, it is . BUT here's the deal
We traveled 30 hours from Arkansas to Madrid and did not want to add to that 30 hrs trains + taxi + a sleep over in Pamplona then take a bus ( or taxi) next day to get to St Jean . We wanted to rest our weary heads and have a full kickback day in St Jean to visit and acclimate . Considering the fares for a train , a bus, and a hotel for 2 and subtracting from taxi fare it wasn't really that pricey ( Taxi) . Also keep in mind the un-measurable value of a nice long rest before attacking the Pyrenees' .. ( Priceless) Granted we got some super deals on flights coming over so with that saving we put towards the taxi .
Cost difference above normal out of pocket was about $175 for two , Madrid to St Jean . I will take it every time and If you can bundle with others heading in the same direction on the same day even better .
Here's Juan our Taxi Driver . Wonderful guy

Wow. That is a lot of travel time to Madrid. Last June I flew to Madrid from New Orleans and it was a total travel time of about 13 hours. Y'all must have had one heck of a layover somewhere......Absolutely Yes,. My wife and I took a taxi ( taxi navarra +34 689 80 01 52 , Juan) in Sept 2014 ( $750 flat rate ) Sound pricey?..
