    BCN-IRUN. How to get?

    I think the easiest way to get downtown Barcelona is the Airport coach (bus) about € 5.90 from the airport to the Plaza Catalonya. There is an Alsa bus alsa.es leaving at 7 am but you won´t make it! Other bus companies maybe have other departures. Or stay in Barcelona one day, enjoy the city...

    Madrid airport to chamartin, how long it takes?

    Your timing is very tight. What about if your flight is late a couple of minutes as usually they are in the late afternoon. I do not understand all this RUSH to the camino. Please, have lots of time next time so you don´t have to worry about this.

    Air line change departure time

    @peregrina2000 is correct - if this is one through ticket (air line) and you miss your connection they will put you on the next possible flight. Otherwise you have to purchase another one. Buying a ticket for the shuttle does not take any time - they sell them before getting on the bus on the...

    Transport from Bordeaux to Bilbao?

    Hello all, I usually do like Laurie that means I fly as close as possible to my starting point and fly out of Santiago on one multi- destination ticket. Saves time and there is no worries. If needed I take a bus and purchace the tickets while in Spain, France or Portugal. Buen camino

    Bus time table from Santiago to Porto

    Merry Christmas all! This is an old thread... The Alsa bus takes you from Santiago de Compostela to Oporto (Porto). It takes about 4 h 15 min. €25-33 depending on the season. Very comfortable. Stops at the Oporto airport. And yes, take the different time zones into consideration if you are...

    Starting in SJPP -- fly into Madrid or Paris?

    I know Laurie, we all have to find out what is best for us. I am still working 40 hours every week so time is also money for me. It is very convenient to get as close to the starting point as possible as fast possible so there will be more time for the camino.

    Starting in SJPP -- fly into Madrid or Paris?

    Hola Laurie, I don´t fly the cheapos - never - I fly Iberia, British Airways, Finnair and the other Oneworld airlines. I want to check in my bag and I want to fly on ONE TICKET to my destination. If delays they will put me on the next flight. Laurie, next time check www.iberia,com for your...

    Starting in SJPP -- fly into Madrid or Paris?

    If I want to start from SJPP or Roncesvalles I would fly to Pamplona, San Sebastian or maybe Bilbao for their easy bus and train connections for the starting points in France and Spain. The airfare is mas o menos the same than flying into Madrid. And I fly back home from Santiago to avoid the...

    Pamplona Bus question

    Yes, and I think there is only one bus station on Pamplona. You can google search - estacion de autobus Pamplona - you have a location of it on a map. I was going to upload a map here but it doesn't work right now. http://www.estaciondeautobusesdepamplona.com/La-estacion.aspx

    Pamplona Bus question

    In Pamplona you can buy the ticket (from Pamplona to Sjpp) from the bus driver.I do not know if it is possible to buy it in advance online. You cannot buy it at the bus station in advance, only from the bus driver. At the Pamplona bus station find out which bus stop is the one to Sjpp and line...

    Iberia Airline

    Maybe we Europeans have different stand point when it comes to air line bankruptcies and air line tickets. I just know that when Spanair went down I had 4 return tickets (2 for me and 2 for my son &girlfriend). One ticket (my camino ticket Stockholm- Barcelona- Bilbao) was purchaced a long time...

    Less Expensive Travel Alternative From US

    Or why not Aer Lingus - an airline and a flag carrier of Ireland. For a while ago it was possible to purchase one- way tickets. So it is possible to get to your starting point and after your camino get back from Santiago to Dublin.
