    Train Times and Connecting from Porto Airport

    You start when your foot hits the tarmac. We're starting (hopefully) from Valenca Railway Station.

    Train Times and Connecting from Porto Airport

    I totally understand your frustration. I am walking the Portugese in April with my two grandsons, and, because of school holidays and commitments at my end, we only have a week between flights. Our plane also lands late evening on the Saturday. I was dubious on catching a late train to Valenca...

    Roncesvalles to Pamplona on Sunday mid October

    In your OP you say you are, "walking through France". Are you starting in SPdP or further North into France? I ask because I was faced with a similar problem, only mine was in March. I worked it out that I was due to arrive in SdC on a Saturday and I wasn't convinced there would be onward...

    How to board a coach from SdC to Valenca, Portugal - any check-in required?

    Bit more for you. When I bought my ticket from a machine in SdC in April 2019 to travel from there to Porto, the machine asked for an ID No. or similar. I recall it didn't ask for my passport No. I entered my Passport No. and the machine gave out a ticket. Whilst we are now a Third World...

    Tui to Porto

    Planning my next walk from Tui to SdC (I am taking my two grandsons who have a spare week at Easter) I discovered that, because Valenca, (across the river from Tui) is in Portugal, the transport links are that much better. Have a look at rail links. I found them much more frequent than the...

    Bus Bilbao to Pamplona - September

    I flew into Bilbao and caught the bus to Pamplona from the Bus Station. (March ) This was in 2019 and naively, it never occurred to me to buy the ticket in advance. I have noticed that since Covid, more and more people are prebooking their transport and accommodation.

    What’s the likelihood of flights from USA to Paris being cancelled in August due to French strikes?

    I'll quote Harry Callaghan. "Do you feel lucky?" "Well. Do you?" Buen Camino!

    Flights home after Camino

    I added 5 days to my planned C. Frances. Further to that I did the Walk without a break and travelled down to Porto by bus on the day I arrived in SdC. I then spent the five days in Porto 'walking down,' walking less and less as the days went by.,

    Getting home from SDC to the UK after your Camino

    Greetings all, I appreciate that many won't have a problem in returning to the UK following their walk but, as this section was empty I thought I'd give my experience. I started in Pamplona in March 2019 after flying in from Bristol to Bilbao the previous day and catching a coach, (2hrs) to...

    Easyjet Baggage Fee

    On my way out and back I packed my walking stick (1200mm) into a square tube. It had been for a fluorescent lighting tube. After sealing up the ends I stuck a label on it with the codes of the two airports (eg BRS-BIO) and the date of travel on the tube and took it to the check in desk. It was...

    Easyjet Baggage Fee

    Hi, I used Easyjet to fly into Bilbao on 28th Feb this year and then used them again to fly out of Porto on the 2nd April having completed the Camino Frances. My circumstances were slightly different to your husband as, before I flew and immediately after booking the return leg, ( I couldn't...
