Yes, the description says it is a few minutes from the Barcelona Port and I can walk just about 20 minutes to a sandy beach. The Las Ramblas is very close leaving me excited to explore the many cafes and restaurants.
Thanks for the tip on pickpockets and scam artists. Sometimes we get caught up...
How did I know you'd be so quick to respond. 😁 Thank you. Can you tell me though. Am I right with the train from Logrono arriving so late in the evening? I really want to avoid this if possible.
Thanks for your reply and I hope you're enjoying your time. Buen Camino!

Here's the dealeo. 😁 Instead of my usual departure city back to the US of A from Paris. I am now coming home from Barcelona. I've done my due diligence in searching how to get from Logrono to Barcelona. Here's where I need advice, experience, other options?.
I'll be leaving on a Sunday from...
For my Caminos I fly from Idaho to Paris (stay one night for jet lag) then take a nonstop flight to Biarritz, France. I’ll then catch a quick bus or taxi to Bayonne train station where I hop on board with all the other excited pilgrims going to SJPdP.
You can also take a train from Paris to...
My first (Camino) trip into Biarritz, the flight had to circle the airport a few times before landing. I was nervous about catching the train in Bayonne. Because I only had my carryon backpack I was able to get outside quickly where I found a line of taxi’s waiting. I hopped in one (fairly cheap...
I as well. I purchase my round trip far, far in advance. This for me is when I can find the cheapest flights. However, I do take a peek from time to time and if I see a lower fare, I change it to get the higher portion refunded. I book extra time so I can stay a couple nights in Santiago and a...
I agree about going to Paris rather than Madrid, I've been to both. I found and stayed at a cheap hostel in 2019. 3 Ducks Boutique Hostel Bar. I took the train from CDG to the Eiffel Tower then walked to the hostel. The next morning I walked to the metro that took me to Gare Montparnasse...
I’ve stayed at the ibis CDG Paris Hotel. It’s not the cheapest but great for a late night arrival and they have a fantastic buffet breakfast served really early. Just take the airport tram to the hotel. Ask the hotel staff how to get to the train station in the morning and how long it will take...
It takes about 3.5 to get to Fisterra - what I've done in the past is take the bus then go check in at hotel/hostel then walk up to the light house to witness the sunset. The next morning I took a bus to Muxia, walked on the rocks near the church then took the afternoon bus back to Santiago. If...
I’ve walked in and out of Leon (twice out) in fact I left when it was still dark. The only confusion was at the Parador go left. I heard stories of pilgrims going right toward Oviedo then had to back track a lot of kilometers. Also, if you want to take the alternate after Virgin del Camino it...
I love flying from Northwest USA into Paris. Then fly to Biarritz, taxi to the Bayonne train station then on to SJPdP.
Even one night in Paris can do wonders for jet lag. Stay in a hostel (3 Ducks) then walk around and see the sights. Next morning wake refreshed and ready to get to SJPdP. Or...
I've stayed in Paris many times before and after. If I don't have a lot of time I like to stay at the IBIS Hotel at CDG. So easy to get to from the terminal. Then I catch the train into the center of Paris or directly to the Eiffel or the Louvre, where ever you want to start. Stay there as long...
Did you originate from Amsterdam to fly international or connect in Amsterdam? I know that if you start in Amsterdam as of late the lines were around the block to get through security. But if I'm connected in AMS the lines shouldn't be so bad. Crossing fingers and saying prayers. :)
