    Baggage transport to San Juan de Ortega

    I'm a senior walker on the camino and will be taking the Camino de Santiago Frances route this month. I've made the reservation of all lodgings along the route by the Booking.Com except one location, San Juan de Ortega. I'm wondering if I can still use the baggage transfer service to this...

Returning from Santiago to Madrid of my itinerary is May 12th and I made purchase of the train ticket by Renfe on on-line recently. Ticket price is 20.65 euro and departing Santiago on 7:47am, arriving Chamartin station of...

    Pamplona to Saint Jean in September

    It was my misunderstanding about Rome2rio. It is a self-service travel search engine where they give you the tools to get you from A to B. However they have confirmed by checking on ALSA’ s website and no schedules to show up for most part of September as of yet. Their recommendations are just...

    Pamplona to Saint Jean in September

    I think you are right. I emailed to "Rome2rio" which operate ALSA a little while ago and I got a letter like this. "The reason no tickets are showing up for your journey on 14th September is because a lot of European operators change the schedules at the end of the summer season around the first...

    Hi, I had a same problem of booking a bus trip to SJPP from Pamplona for 9/14/2022. All bus websites are saying “no bus found”. So I emailed to Rome2rio which arranges a bus reservation for ALSA and their response is as follow. I hope this photocopy of their email will ease your concerns...

    Train from Lisbon to Porto

    Depend on how much time you have before the camino from Porto, I would suggest 2 days' sightseeing in Lisbon, take a train to Porto and another 2 days' walking tour in Porto before launching. This itinerary was for me in 2018 Spring time. Vigorous walking in those two cities were a good practice...

    Where to stay in Paris relatively cheaply

    Your itinerary is very similar to mine. It'll be my first camino experience and this forum really helped me to plan for my schedule. I booked a bus (Air France) shuttle from CDG to Montparness station (17 euro) and a direct TGV line to Bayonne with around 78 euro. I wasn't sure if i can make...

    Paris to Bayonne to SJPP via train

    To follow your advices, i just booked a flight from Santiago to Paris just under $100 for Optima class for a little more comfort as well as some other benefits and flying time is about 2 hours. This booking of the Optima class includes one checked bag, so I can bring the hiking sticks home too...

    Paris to Bayonne to SJPP via train

    Dear Janet and Willhaus. Appreciate your advices so quickly. What about a taking bus from Santiago to Madrid and fly back to USA. In this case you don't have to check a baggage twice and probably save some money too. I flew to Madrid from Charlotte, North Carolina quite a few years ago and I...

    Paris to Bayonne to SJPP via train

    We all talked about how to get to the St. Jean before the Camino, however I'd like to have advice how to get back to home (for my case, USA). We all end up at Santiago 30 to 40 days later once you put your first step from St. Jean. I'm Don from Houston, TX and I'm planning the whole Camino...
