I was wondering if there is a direct way of getting to SSJP from Madrid. I’m planning a late October to November Camino on the CF and would like to get a round trip plane ticket to and from same city since it’s cheaper. In the past, I've flown from Chicago to Barcelona going and from Madrid...
Thank you Paul. I’ve decided to stay overnight near montparnesse and take train to Bayonne the next morning. It’s supposed to be easy getting from Bayonne to SJDp
Thank you for this suggestion. Since I’m starting to walk on the 26th of October, I just need to decide if it’s worth the struggle of going the Napoleon route to Roncesvalles in one day. I’ve done it twice. Beautiful but difficult. Never been on the valcarlos route.
Thank you joker for your response. I was just a little concerned about what’s available in a month that has many places closing. I can’t walk at any other time due to scheduling issues so November it is. I also discovered nothing open on the Napoleon route so I’m going through valcarlos where...
As I’m starting to get some reservations in line for my November camino on CF, just wondering how difficult it is to find a private room after October 31.
Would like to stay in both albergues and private rooms.
Hi Rick. This is so helpful. I’m printing this out. This will make things very easy since I’m not at all familiar with Paris and getting to SJDP from there rather than Barcelona or madrid. Thanks so much. Frank
Thank you for the suggestion. I’m terrible with jet lag so I’m going to stay overnight near montparnesse. I figure it’s a train ride to Bayonne then to Biarritz. Start walking on the 26th. The biggest challenge will be finding a room throughout November!
I think I just might stay one night in Paris and then off to SJPD the next day. I’m assuming it’s easy to get a train from montparnesse to Bayonne and on to SJDP
Thank you for the taxi recommendation. Great advice. Is it easy to get to SJPD from montparnesse? I arrive in Paris at 10:30 am. On October 24. Would like to get to SJPD that day if not too rushed. Otherwise I’ll stay overnight near montparnesse and go to SJPD next day.
Hi all. Just wondering if I can make it to SJPD the same day I fly into paths at CDG airport. I arrive from Chicago at 10:30am. October 23. CanI fly from CDG to Bayonne, train to SJPD? Or Biarritz? Would you recommend staying overnight in Paris near monteparnesse station? I’d like to start...
Thank you for this thread. Getting an electric coil is a great idea. One more question: are there many hotels/ pensions offering private rooms available in November, especially if there are no open albergues? I’ve walked in October and early November but never in November into December. I’m just...
