    How many nights should we spend in Pamplona before heading to SJPdP

    Pamplona is a vibrant city , but I think just one nigth is enought before heading to SJPP, considering probably you´ll pass by it again soon. Furthermore Pamplona has a Decathlon for doing the last stuffs shopping before start the Camino. Enjoy it.
