    Santiago to Porto - by bus or train?

    We took a bus from Santiago to Porto, mainly because there were no transfers required - just a straight shot. Bus stopped at the bus terminal, then we hopped on the train to take us to Sao Bento station (quick 5 minute ride) - very easy to navigate.

    Poles & Backpack - to check or not to check...

    How do I get from Madrid to Pamplona?

    We arrived around 9am, took the Express bus to Atocha train station. 11:30 train to Pamplona. We stayed in a hotel for the night to rest. Next day we walked a few blocks to the bus station and took a 2pm bus to SJPDP. I was so stressed about this but turned out to be very easy.

    Bus Travel from Pamplona to SJPDP

    My plan is to bus from Pamplona to SJPdP on Thursday June 5th, we want the 14:30 bus so we can explore Pamplona a bit in the morning. Is there a chance the bus will be sold out? Should I purchase the tickets now or do you think I will be safe to wait until we are actually there?

    Airfare to Madrid

    I think that is a good price - of course I have no experience to base my info on :) I will be flying Delta in June RT from DFW-Atlanta-Madrid for $580. This was the cheapest I saw and probably could have waited longer for a better deal to come along but I found it stressful to wait so I went...
