    Sarria > Ourense > Madrid travel options

    This has made me realise… well, that I like the look of the Ourense night… but also that perhaps I’ve overlooked my biggest question…: is it really this difficult to get from Sarria to Ourense? Maybe some services are actually more frequent but just not showing up? I’m aware that the RENFE...

    Sarria > Ourense > Madrid travel options

    Hello Camino friends! I wondered what your thoughts might be as regards travel options for the end of my Camino for this year. We’re walking for three weeks on the Frances, from Belorado to Sarria. We’ll pick up in Sarria next time, so spending time there now isn’t crucial to us. I know that...

    Flight change! Evening transport from Madrid to Belorado?

    An update! My partner has managed to book an extra day off work, so we’ve simply shifted the flight forward by one day; I hadn’t thought this would be possible because he’s already at the limit if his holiday allowance, but nice companies do exist, it seems! I now have a choice of options for...

    Flight change! Evening transport from Madrid to Belorado?

    Yes we may have to do that. We’ve booked into the lovely Hostal B in Belorado, and I have an ongoing conversation with them because we ended there last September, and they were great in looking for my lost ring for me. We thought it’d be great to begin from there this year—picking up exactly...

    Flight change! Evening transport from Madrid to Belorado?

    I didn’t know about BlaBlaCar! What a brilliant thing that seems to be. I just checked today’s availability for Madrid to Burgos and found several options, all cheap. Nothing for the section to Belorado but as you said, I might manage a bus or taxi for that section, or at worst stay in Burgos...

    Flight change! Evening transport from Madrid to Belorado?

    I looked at EasyJet to Bilbao but ruled it out because it arrives even later. I didn’t know a cab would be so reasonable so will look into this. Thanks.

    Flight change! Evening transport from Madrid to Belorado?

    Oh I’ll get there one way or another 😃. The whole route is booked—I have to book rooms well ahead because of medical problems—and there’s no way I’m cancelling the whole thing unless there’s a crisis!

    Flight change! Evening transport from Madrid to Belorado?

    Hello Camino friends. I’ve just received the dreaded flight change email from RyanAir. We’re flying Manchester to Madrid, 21st May this year. Our flight was due to arrive around noon, and we then had plenty of time to reach Belorado, from where we’ll walk the next day They’ve changed the...

    covid travel limitations and getting to/from the Camino

    I’m currently planning, next Spring, to do the reverse of what you first suggested: walk to Sarria, stay there overnight, quick train to Madrid the next day, stay overnight, early flight home the next morning. Like you, I don’t want to cut short my walking time. I think this is quite a simple...

    Flight and accommodation problems: Rescheduling everything

    I hope I haven’t misunderstood the bus information on Rome2Rio. The thing is, I zoomed in on the route and the quickest bus appears to leave from by the train station, as in the screenshot. If I’ve got this wrong then worst case scenario we’ll take a taxi. Edit… So I’ve now realised that the...

    Flight and accommodation problems: Rescheduling everything

    Thanks for this. I've managed to rearrange things so it's all ok now. I did want to fly to either of the airports you suggested but the flights in total would be 4x the price of those to Bilbao, from my part of the UK, so it's just not feasible for us! It took me quite a long time to accept this :D

    Flight and accommodation problems: Rescheduling everything

    Excellent! I've booked a place in Bilbao: AliciaZzz Bed And Breakfast. It's close to the station. We'll abandon the idea of going through Pamplona and instead head to Bayonne the next morning, then over to SJPP. As ever, you've been a brilliant help on the forum! Thank you!

    Flight and accommodation problems: Rescheduling everything

    Thank you! I think I'll either do this, or reschedule the flight. What is taxi availability like at night, from Bilbao airport? I presume that it'd be fairly simple to jump in a taxi to a hotel nearer to the bus station?

    Flight and accommodation problems: Rescheduling everything

    Ah, I probably should have made clear that the first section from SJPP to Roncesvalles is probably the most important for us of all! Sorry for not making that obvious, and thank you for your reply. Getting to SJPP, ideally via Pamplona, is the issue. I've edited my initial post to reflect this now.

    Flight and accommodation problems: Rescheduling everything

    Hello all! I’ve taken the sad decision to postpone our September Camino (stage 1 of the Camino Frances) to next May/early June. Last night, I changed my flights, but there’s now a problem because the new flights arrive in Bilbao at 10pm at night. I planned to stay in Pamplona on the first night...
