    4 days route wanted

    Hi Hakan Since you plan to walk for only 4 days you dont want long bus journeys before or after your walk. If you can easily fly into Biarritz why not do 4 days from ST Jean. If you can fly into Bilboa, there are good connections to Pamplona and back from Logrono. This is a good sample to...
