    Free Airport Shuttle from Booking.com, is it real?

    I have noticed this offer and other "freebies" have been popping up recently on every reservation I have booked with them. I suspect it is promotional gimmick they beta testing. I hope it works out for you.

    Advice on starting in Roncesvalles

    Pamplona is closer and perhaps easier, just a bus or taxi ride away. To get there from BIQ depends on your tolerance to the various modes of transportation that are available.

    Flying into Biarritz May 19 at 18:25; stay one night or traiin straight to SJPdP?

    The restaurants along the side of the Nive are good but the food in every one of the restaurants around the Marche in Biarritz is absolutely first class.

    Transporting Hard Shell Bike Boxes on the Camino de Santiago

    My only Camino on a bike included several days of transporting my rental bike. I disassembled it, wrapped it in plastic as the bus companies require but was refused boarding on several buses. There are rules which seem to be quite vague are enforced at the whims of the driver that day. I guess...

    Sending backpacks ahead to SJPdP

    Unless someone knows more than I do about Bordeaux, and I have visited there often, you can have the finest soft and hard cheeses and vintage wines in the world in SJPdP thanks to the fine cheesemakers in the Basque hills and the vineyards that produce Txakoli, wonderful reds and roses from...

    Hotel in Bilbao close to airport?

    I have stayed at both of the hotel next to the airport because I had rental cars to return and pre-dawn flights. Convenient yes, but the places are over priced and the dining option is very limited.

    Flooding in Bayonne

    There was torrential rain falling along the Nive and Adour Rivers yesterday and the rivers crested at a record high level. The main streets of Bayonne are underwater and the train line to SJPdP is shutdown due to a landslide.

    Train from Bayonne to St Jean Pied de Port

    The bus is a replacement for the train offered by SNCF when the tracks are under repair. Spring flooding often does damage to the tracks.

    Making my way from Barcelona to Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    There is an inexpensive guided tour (in Spanish only) of the train station but it is not even allowed to do more than walk across the lobby. If you plan to stay at Canfranc Pueblo make sure to take provisions from the grocery in Canfranc to prepare your meals. There is nowhere to shop or eat a...

    Making my way from Barcelona to Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    I stayed one night in Zaragoza before going to Canfranc. There are several reasonably priced places near the Basilica. That is the area I would pick for a two night stay, lots of restaurants to choose from. I stayed at the Hotel Oriente. In Oloron I stayed at the albergue Relias du Bastet. It is...

    Where to land and transfer to Roncesvalles

    You will get loads of recommendations but first you need to tell us more where you are arriving from and about what time of day. The first place to plan this trip is to consult Rome2Rio.

    Travel Question - Car rental and driver's license

    I have traveled often in the Eurozone with an IDL and never once was I asked for it to rent a car. Be aware there are very expensive drop-off charges for a rental car when you return it to a country different than the one you rented it in. Check with your auto insurance company to make sure you...
