    Luggage transfer

    Although I have never used a courier, my experience is that you leave your backpack at the auberge with an envelope containg that day's courier charge.

    Luggage transfer

    I read that municipal auberges will not accept luggage transferred by courier. Is this correct, if so is there a way around this? I prefer to stay at municipal auberges and carry my backpack since they are cheaper, my traveling companion prefers to transfer her luggage by courier.

    Budget hotel in Madrid

    Any recommendations for a convenient budget hotel in Madrid? Arriving at Adolfo Suárez airport at 8 pm, and catching a train from Puerta de Atocha the next day at 10:35 am. Looking for a convenient budget hotel, probably near the subway. Flying from Thailand so I just want to sleep.

    What is the long-term forecast for the Napolean Route? I will start from SJPP on 29 April, is rain expected to last, even if the route is open? I am unable to find a forecast longer than 14 days.

    Discount train card for pensioners

    Would some kind soul with a concession card check how much the concession fare from Madrid to Pamplona, on the 7:35 am train, be if traveling within the next few days? This would be a good comparison.

    Discount train card for pensioners

    I did a comparison using Omio on different dates. One-way train fare from Madrid to Pamplona on the 7:35 am train is: 22 February: 84 Euros 22 March: 32 Euros 22 April: 26 Euros (over three times cheaper) Booking as much in advance as possible is certainly a cost saver.

    Discount train card for pensioners

    "It may be cheaper to buy a ticket at an advance purchase fare online than to buy it with a Tarjeta Dorada when you get there." How much in advance do you need to buy a ticket to get a decent discount? I will be traveling with a younger person.

    Discount train card for pensioners

    Hi. I believe older pilgrims get a 30% discount on trains on production of a pensioner card. I assume I can buy the card at Madrid station or preferably the airport. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks

    Bus Pamplona to SJPP

    I did a web search with the Alsa bus company for buses from Pamplona to SJPP. The response was that no buses run on this route. Is this correct or do buses only run during the warmer seasons?
