Hi, I'm arriving in Bilbao at 15.30hrs mid April to walk from Logroño onwards. There is one train around 15.30hrs. Álava bus company shows a schedule with a 16hr and 17hr bus from Bilbao intermodal line 17. I don't seem to find a way to ensure a seat by online booking. Any suggestions grateful...
Arrive in the morning or midday to SJPDP, soak on the atmosphere, then after one night walk to Orrison or 1km further to Borda to relax and fully enjoy the trek over the Pyrinees. I've stayed in both, Borda last Oct, highly recommend, booking essential. You get a lovely start next morning high...
Hi, I put my poles into my backpack having checked it on board. No issue. That was April this year, 2023. As said above its the airpirt security and not the airline. However, I would not give Ryanair a chance to charge me so I kept them out of sight. Buen camino.
Express Bourricot company stationed in SJPDP run a shuttle service to 10/12km approx up the Napolean route. Day 1 you can walk up to the pick up point where they collect you and return you to SJPDP to stay the night. Day 2 they leave you back to the point where you finished on day one so that...
I agree to take your time in SJPDP, I rushed through the first day staying at Orrison. I'm now returning in the Autum to take my time. Also, you can book online for Roncevalles securing your place so no worries. I doubt it will be full later in the year compared to early Spring. Buen camino.
In my view, 5pm flight time is not peak so should be not the busiest. Sometimes fast track can be sold out so get cracking if you want to be sure! Buen camino.

Hi there, thanks for the heads up on train availability. I'm due in the pilgrim office SJPDP on 24th April for one week. I could not use Express Burricot as they said they don't transport from Biarritz after 6.30pm, my flight from Dublin on 23rd April was changed to now arrive later at 20.15hrs...
We bought 2 tarjeta dorada December 2022. I decided to laminate them to keep them more durable. Unfortunately the lamination process heated the print and the tickets turned black so we lost the details on them! The opposite side retained its print. I didn't photograph them or take a copy of the...
Hi all, from Dublin, Ryanair has changed my flight arrival time in Biarritz airport from 17.35hrs to 20.15hrs. This is too late for a train from Bayonne or Express Bourricot.
Anyone arriving on that flight like to share a taxi? Biarritz Airport Transfers quotes 150euro. I am a single person...
