    Taxi from Biarritz expensive, better to catch bus f to bayon for a couple of euros or less, then bus to St John, if no bus the taxi from there about 30 euros cheaper than airport

    Night in Biarritz?

    Biarritz itself is in the wrong direction from the airport, I myself and many others chose to get the bus to Bayon, there you can get the train or bus to sjpdp, you can stay the night in Bayon which is very nice, or if there is a train or bus that you can catch that day, go straight to sjpdp...

    No Compostela for You!

    I did actually say the people who organise it were at fault, but some of those who work there are surly and seem like council jobsworth types who take pleasure in quoting the book on missing a stamp, and it has been getting worse over the years, like I say not everybody who volunteers is doing...

    Newbie with questions for the French Way

    I have done the Camino in the spring as you intend to do, the weather is usually good for walking then, but can vary. I did it in 2016 in July august and made it in four weeks on low budget, the heat and the fact that I was limited for cash made it difficult, but made it despite losing about 2...

    Three weeks for Frances - where to start?

    I have done the Camino in 4 weeks, as others have said all depends on your own speed and fitness. If you do not feel you can manage to complete in the time you have I suggest you start at at Jean and pick out places along the way you really wish to visit, then use public transport to miss out...
