    Luggage transfer

    Although I have never used a courier, my experience is that you leave your backpack at the auberge with an envelope containg that day's courier charge.

    Luggage transfer

    I read that municipal auberges will not accept luggage transferred by courier. Is this correct, if so is there a way around this? I prefer to stay at municipal auberges and carry my backpack since they are cheaper, my traveling companion prefers to transfer her luggage by courier.

    Discount train card for pensioners

    I did a comparison using Omio on different dates. One-way train fare from Madrid to Pamplona on the 7:35 am train is: 22 February: 84 Euros 22 March: 32 Euros 22 April: 26 Euros (over three times cheaper) Booking as much in advance as possible is certainly a cost saver.

    Discount train card for pensioners

    "It may be cheaper to buy a ticket at an advance purchase fare online than to buy it with a Tarjeta Dorada when you get there." How much in advance do you need to buy a ticket to get a decent discount? I will be traveling with a younger person.

    Discount train card for pensioners

    Hi. I believe older pilgrims get a 30% discount on trains on production of a pensioner card. I assume I can buy the card at Madrid station or preferably the airport. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks

    I did a web search with the Alsa bus company for buses from Pamplona to SJPP. The response was that no buses run on this route. Is this correct or do buses only run during the warmer seasons?

    Santiago to London

    I need to arrive in London by late afternoon. Otherwise I have to get a hotel room either near the airport, or in London, which negates any cost savings by catching a late flight.
