    Biarritz to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port?

    Yes, all of the above. If you strike lucky with Express Bourricot, and they have 4 others already booked, the fare will be 18 euros. Right now the train from Bayonne only goes about halfway, as the line is still out due to flooding, and the journey is continued by bus. My advice, book with...

    Santiago to Barajas Transportation

    TrenHotel is comfortable, and nice clean bed in 4 berth compartment. You may need your earplugs though, as the noise from the rails can be intrusive..... This probably won't affect you, travelling into the morning (08oohrs), but when I did the Madrid - Ponferrada run, I was somewhat concerned...

    Check RENFE site. Trenhotel leaves Santiago 2233hrs on June 12th, arrives Madrid Chamartin 0802 June 13th. Short Cercanias ride to T4. 31.7 euros cama turista, "promo" fare. Be a lot more comfortable than the bus, I'm sure.

Example: Leon to Santiago in May 9.95 euros. Alsa bus is nearer 25e, and gets in late at night. Madrid...

    10 hours in Madrid

    Thanks Annie - I'm not into modern art, but it would be worth visiting if only to see Picasso's Guernica.

    10 hours in Madrid

    I arrive at Barajas Airport 1100hrs May 7th, and leave on Tren Hotel from Chamartin 2230hrs the same day. So, about 10 hours to pass in Madrid. I have done the Open-top bus tour of the city on a previous visit - any other suggestions for passing the time would be welcome. Nothing too strenuous...
