Pamplona to SJPDP and overnight

[Bama Bill]

What are the best remaining options for getting from Pamplona to SJPDP on a Sunday? What are good modest to medium priced overnight options in SJPDP?

[Edit: The bus info below is good but the earlier part does not apply to you. I was pretty sure the question asked involved staying in Pamplona and being within walking distance of the cathedral and bus station.

I wasn't crazy; just confused. This information was intended for this request]

We stayed at a new albergue, Casa Ibarrola, that is near the cathedral. It has bunk beds but very fancy ones. Pictures on their webpage http://www.casaibarrola.com/ Note that some pages have a translation tool on them.

This map shows Casa Ibarrola's location. The cathedral is noted a few blocks to the south-east. The bus station is at the lower-case "p" in "Pamplona" (at the north-east corner of a big park near the bottom of the map.)

I was not able to connect to the Alsa site for a Sunday bus schedule. Go to https:/www.alsa.es/en/ and click in the "Point of departure" type-in box. A pop-up allows you to pick a "Departure country" of "Spain." Then in the "Point of departure" box start typing "Pamplona" (without the quotes). As you type the name the pop-up starts showing fewer and fewer names until you can either finish typing or click on one of the names shown in the pop-up. Next do something similar in the "Destination" type-in box and pick "France" in the pop-up. Go back to the "Destination" type-in box and (this is the secret) type in the name "Saint Jean de Pied de Port" (without the quotes). If you abbreviate "Saint" as "St" or "St." then Alsa won't find the town.

I stayed at what is now beilari (not current owners I believe) and loved it. I shared a cab from Pamplona to SJPdP

Have you tried Corazon Puro? They will pick you up in Pamplona, drive you to their albergue for the night (part way between Pamplona and SJPP), and then drive you to SJPP the next morning. Euros 45 for the transportation, the night, dinner and breakfast. Very nice people, too! Check their website here.

There is a bus for 22 euros leaving at 2:30 on Sunday. I couldn't find it on the internet anywhere but was able to purchase it at the bus station just today.

Not only that - you can leave some of your things there and pick up on the way back through. They are right on the Camino. That way you can lighten your load crossing the Pyrenees.

Another vote for Corazon Pura and Beilari in SJPdP!

Buen Camino,
