  1. Tincatinker

    Someone in Oviedo who speaks Spanish and has some time on their hands?

    @Maartje1 it might be worth reaching out directly to the people at the municipal albergue https://www.gronze.com/asturias/oviedo/albergue-peregrinos-salvador Kind people are often kindly

    Alternative to Monbus (Samos to Santiago)?

    Monbus are very reliable. Reviews on the internet are not. Edit: you could walk to Sarria, catch a (reliable) bus to Lugo and a bus to Santiago from there. You could just get a taxi if you’ve the budget and want to make a local taxi driver very happy.

    Ride share Taxis or shared rides available to Sarria/Samos from Ourense, Jun 1, 2024

    @catholicchiro, pull up a map of Galicia on your IT. Take a look at the journey you’re proposing. Plot it into rome2rio. Via Santiago be more practical but… what time do you expect to exit Madrid and do you have an accommodation reservation you are trying to meet?

    Ride share Taxis or shared rides available to Sarria/Samos from Ourense, Jun 1, 2024

    Try looking for a train to Ourense and then a separate train to Sarria. Or train to Santiago, bus to Lugo, bus to Sarria ( you may even find a bus to Samos otherwise taxi). Or fly Madrid to Santiago, bus, bus, (taxi). Or spend the night in Madrid and travel early the next morning. I don’t...

    Bus to cross Burgos

    It will probably be quicker to walk, and more pleasant via the “river” route. Otherwise you can catch a bus into the centre of Burgos from Villafria and a bus from the bus station out to Villalbilla de Burgos. Rome2rio should sort out service providers and timetables.

    Bus from Bilbao to Logrono

    I can book that bus without a problem. The website works fine in English and Spanish. Try clearing your cookies or changing your browser. That said it is unlikely that the bus will be full. At present one seat is booked, the one behind the driver so unlikely to be an actual booking. Most...

    Return from Muxia to Santiago

    It’s unlikely the bus will be full, especially the early morning one. Fall back is the bus to A Coruna and the train to Santiago
  8. Tincatinker

    Biarritz to SJPP, May 23, 2024

    It’ll be worth contacting https://www.expressbourricot.com/ They’ll do the hard bits for you. They arrange ride share

    Getting from Madrid airport to train station for trip to León

    Bus times Monbus

    Que? You wanted a bus to Sarria. A bus. Now you want wee-fee? Indoor plumbing? Be happy. You have a bus

    Recommendations for travel from Logrono to Sarria

    I’m on my phone and in a foreign country (aren’t most of us 😉) but @WCP might find a better route by breaking the journey down a bit. Perhaps Logrono/Burgos/Leon/Lugo/Sarria. There are consistent bus services between the major cities. The bus companies have little regard for the needs of...

    Recommendations for travel from Logrono to Sarria

    Rome2Rio says: https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Logro%C3%B1o/Sarria Which translates as “if I we’re going there I wouldn’t start from here”. That said train Logrono to Madrid, Madrid to Sarria is doable in a day or an excuse for a night in Madrid

    Luggage logistics in case of change of plans

    You might trip over a kerb on your way to the Correos in Pamplona and your parcel would never get sent. Seriously, as a professional catastrophizer (auditor) I would say that you have addressed the risk and identified appropriate resolutions. Any of the solutions you've suggested would be...

    SDC to Biarritz

    R2R says fly. https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Santiago-de-Compostela/Biarritz
  15. Tincatinker

    Ride share looking to share transfer from Pamplona to Roncesvalles August 26, 2024

    You could perhaps catch the 5pm bus. https://www.autocaresartieda.com/pdf/RONCESVALLES-VERANO-2023-HORARIOS.pdf Though you might need to leave Barcelona a little sooner rather than later
  16. Tincatinker

    Santiago to Bilbao

    According to R2R, fly. https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Santiago-de-Compostela/Bilbao If you have time and a sense of adventure you could use the FEVE railway from Ferrol, takes 3 days but it’s a great way to travel

    Chamartín railway station send luggage to Santiago

    The address is Estacion Chamartin-Vestibulo (Agustin De Foxa S/n) So, in the vestibule/entrance from Calle de Agustín de Foxá

    Correos from SJPP?

    Transport from Hendaye to Sarria with dog

    There is nothing to stop you taking your dog on Cercanias lines. See: https://www.renfe.com/es/en/travel/informacion-util/pets Which means you can use local trains and the FEVE lines along the North coast. With careful research and planning you and your dog can get anywhere in Spain. Very...

    Transportation from Madrid to SJPP

    It’s unlikely, though possible, that the bus will still be running in October which leaves you with an expensive taxi ride. A flight to Biarritz, bus to Bayonne, train to St Jean would be an alternative but not any cheaper. You could always just start walking from Pamplona
