    Bus from Pamplona to St. Jean PDP

    Yes, we're planning on taking a train from Madrid at 7:30am arriving in Pamplona around 11:15. The bus station is on the other side of town but a nice walk or taxi ride. You can then take the 2:30pm bus to SJPDP.

    Bus from Pamplona to St. Jean PDP

    Historically, I believe that the last bus leaves Pamplona at 5:30 in August with the first one out the next morning at 10am. Check out this link: http://www.conda.es/eventos.php?tipo=3&id=438

    Bus from Pamplona to St. Jean PDP

    Dave, that Conda site does not list St. Jean PDP as a destination for their trips to France from Spain. I'll just have to continue trying as the date approaches.

    It was my research that said that it was going to open on April 1st. If the weather is bad, we will take the Valcarlos route.

    Bus from Pamplona to St. Jean PDP

    Thank you for the reply. I like the rometorio page also and have used it extensively before. I tried it before posting this thread but they are unable to find any tickets either. I travelled this route before so I know where the bus station is located.

    Bus from Pamplona to St. Jean PDP

    My wife and I will be travelling in early April from Pamplona to St. Jean PDP. I have contacted Alsa for their bus schedule for April but they are saying that they do not make this journey.

    Soap for body and clothes???

    Washing macines for laundry seem to be ever more prevalent in a albergues along the Camino Frances these days. Are pilgrims carrying laundry detergent or is it provided for the price of renting the machine?

    Maximum size of luggage that can be sent through the mail, and how it should be prepared?

    If one uses the Spanish Correos for backpack delivery between towns, does one have to take it to the Post Office or do they pick it up from the albergue?

    Training at altitude?

    I live high up in the Andes at 8,300' (about 2,500 meters). I am wondering if my training for the Camino would be enhanced(greatly?, mildly?) by my altitude. Probably couldn't hurt but I'm hoping for a nice edge over sea level training. Any thoughts?

    Peaceloving American...

    As pointed out, citizens of the USA are Americans but so are Canadians, Mexicans, etc. As a resident of Ecuador I have found that the Ecuadorians are proud to be Americans also. Therefore my wife has come up with a phrase that she hopes will become common to clear up any doubt. If asked, she...
