Go to the Renfe (train) website and click on the Union Jack for English. and then make your reservations; tourist class is perfectly OK.. There are several trains, each day, from Pamplona to Sarria and the Camino is a short distance away from the Sarria depot. The Pamplona train station is...
Hola,
