    Filling backpack guidelines?

    The bigger the pack the more stuff you can get into it. So get a huge pack. Actually ... no. Get one that is adequate for your needs. It should be large enough that you aren't straining the seams and zippers. But it likely won't give much options about where the items go. Sleeping bag goes in...

    Purchasing train tickets/cost of tickets

    There is a holiday in May. If your travel dates are in the holiday window you'll have trouble. The other salient advice is to find the service provider and buy from them.

    Biarritz to SJPP in the evening

    I'd stay in Bayonne close to the train station. First train will get you there in time to walk to Roncesvalle. My plans got screwed by a strike. I ended up taking the last train 1806. I got to SJPdP about 2030 after dark. I managed to find a restaurant and got to bed at 2300. I had spent...

    Route plan—help needed! (Bilbao, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port)

    PESA bus goes from Bilbao Loiu Airport to San Sebastian bus station. Hourly. If you stay in Bilbao then take local bus from airport to Termibus. There are several buses daily from Bilbao Termibus (which has an excellent website) to San Sebastian. You can catch Renfe Cercanias from San...

    COVID COVID 19 - Offers of help on the ground

    I'm not sure this is the right thread but it should go somewhere: Renfe website states "Renfe will facilitate changes and cancellations of tickets at no cost to travelers affected by measures to combat the coronavirus" https://saladeprensa.renfe.com/ ALSA is stating their services are...

    Conques to San Sebastián

    Bus or taxi Conques to Tremp Renfe Train from Tremp to Lleida. (I think this is twice daily but I haven't looked) Renfe Train from Lleida to San Sebastian. I think the section from Pamplona to San Sebastian is twice daily. So it might be worth considering to take the train from Lleida to...

    getting to St Jean Pied de Port from Biaritz

    All you need to do is research before you go and write down (or print) the salient points. That includes bus and train schedules, bus maps, pictures showing landmarks such as train station exterior (gare Bayonne is very distinctive), and station diagrams. If you're not comfortable with the...

    Transfers from Burgos Airport to Castrojeriz

    Autobuses Amaya or Soto Y Alonso (depending on the day) provides once daily service from Burgos bus station to Castrojeriz. Schedule is to suit commuters. No idea why you'd fly to Burgos from Madrid. Bus and train are both faster and run more frequently.

    Aena Madrid Airport http://www.aena.es/en/madrid-barajas-airport/index.html Renfe train from Chamartin station Madrid to Pamplona. There is Renfe Cercanias from Madrid T4 to Chamartin. Madrid Metro from T1 and T4 go to Chamartin but involves transfers. (Note there is another train station...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD COVID-19: Corona virus discussion (Round 4)

    Perspective. What happened last time? Here is video about Spanish Flu. I'm sure there are lessons to be learned even as the situation now/then is somewhat different.

    SJPDP to Orisson?

    You're probably lucky to get out of the airport in less than an hour. SJPdP is a good place to get yourself sorted out before starting your walk.

    2019 Statistics

    I'd guess the place to start is to count how many start from SJPdP actually get to Roncesvalle. There may be regiments of Pilgrims wandering lost in between.

    Madrid airport to train station

    The big 'IF' is when your plane actually arrives. In my experience, planes rarely arrive on time and they count touchdown on the runway as 'arrival'. Taxiing and deplaning is on your time. You'd need to allow for at least 1 hour to deplane, collect bags and go through customs. Time is now 1525...

    Trenhotel Lisbon to Hendaye

    Service Provider is the best place to purchase. CP rail. https://www.cp.pt/passageiros/en/buy-tickets

    Alicante to Pamplona or sjdpdp

    Renfe train Alicante to Madrid. Renfe train Alicante to Pamplona. I think the trains terminate and start at Chamartin Madrid but you'd need to check. If you're going to SJPdP, take Renfe from Madrid to Irun/Hendaye. If train terminates in Irun, take Donostialdea Metro from Irun Colon, located...
