Planning for Camino Frances May-June 2019
Hi,

I'm planning to walk el Camino de Santiago starting in May. I'm trying to find a bus or train to get from Pamplona to SJPDP but every site I go on says no routes even if I use a few days from now as the departing days. I've read a few places that there's a bus that runs that route 3 times a day so I'm wondering, if that's the case, why can't I find any scheduled routes? Is it off season so no buses are running right now?

I don't want to take a taxi and pay a bunch.

Thank you for the help!

There is no train, and buses can be seasonal. So, it is reasonable to not see a schedule listed now. Also, most bus lines only post schedules perhaps 60 days in advance anyway.

I recommend you try www.rome2rio.com for a start on available travel methods between Pamplona and SJPdP.

Hope this helps.

What Tom said on the bus scheduling. Know that the number of Conda/ALSA buses running between Pamplona and SJPDP varies between 0 and 4 depending on the time of year. In May I would expect at least two.

We took a taxi from the Pamplona Train Station. Cost Approx 100E. We had four guys in the car so 25 each. ride took about 90minutes. Not a road for someone who is subject to car sickness.

Buen Camino

You can get a bus to San Sebastian, then from there to St. Jean. No problem.
