    Barajas Airport (MAD) | Terminal 4S to Terminal 4 in 1 hour 20 minutes?

    That is too funny Whari. I suppose if they handed you parachutes instead of boarding first, then you should really be concerned.

    Thank you Laurie. You have been a big help. John

    Barajas Airport (MAD) | Terminal 4S to Terminal 4 in 1 hour 20 minutes?

    Hi Laurie: Thank you for the response. When you refer to "sticks" when returning to the USA through Santiago's airport, you are referring to your hiking poles yes? John

    Barajas Airport (MAD) | Terminal 4S to Terminal 4 in 1 hour 20 minutes?

    Hello Arn: I loved your response which gave me a morning smile and laugh. I "embrace" the description of eccentric and wear it as a badge of honor. I have met more interesting people in 40 days in 2012 on the Camino Frances than I had met in my life up to the age of then 46. The question...

    Barajas Airport (MAD) | Terminal 4S to Terminal 4 in 1 hour 20 minutes?

    Hi Laurie: Thank you for the advice. Your note here mirrors the Iberia schedule quoted to me for $1,040 round trip. I love the idea of a 9:15 AM flight out of Santiago which is a nice morning flight with connection in Madrid at 12:30 as you say. I get back into Boston at 2:30 PM which I like...

    Barajas Airport (MAD) | Terminal 4S to Terminal 4 in 1 hour 20 minutes?

    Thank you all for responding. What I am reading online is that travelers have had to collect their bags between terminals. If that is the case, then I agree with you Whariwharangi, I stand "no" chance of making the flight to Bilbao. If however, the baggage (backpack) is transferred from...

    Barajas Airport (MAD) | Terminal 4S to Terminal 4 in 1 hour 20 minutes?

    Hello fellow peregrinos: I am planning the airfare leg of my trip to Spain walking the Camino del Norte. I have looked at several flights from Boston USA to Madrid Barajas Airport Terminal 4S with connecting flight to Bilbao in terminal 4. The time between flights is a mere 1 hour and 20...

    How do I get to Irun from Bilbao?

    Thank you. I did see Ivar's post on the forum for the pilgrim passport. I will definitely get it here and save myself one less thing when I get to Irun.

    How do I get to Irun from Bilbao?

    Thank you Antonio. I never thought of that and it sounds intriguing. When I walked the Camino Frances, I enjoyed the border crossing at the Fountain de Roland. One questions though, can you get a pilgrims passport in Hendaye? Thank you. John

    How do I get to Irun from Bilbao?

    Hi Laurie. Thank you for the note. The bus sounds like my choice from the airport and the price sounds great at a couple of Euros. John

    Thank you Falcon for sending me the bus schedule. I can't wait for June. John

    Hello Whari. Thank you so much for the response and the links. This will help me out immensely. John

    How do I get to Irun from Bilbao?

    Hello fellow peregrinos: I will be travelling from Boston to Madrid with a connection to Bilbao to walk the Camino del Norte in June/July 2015. Can anyone give me advice on how I will get from the Bilbao Airport to Irun? As always, thank you so much for your advice and comments. This is a...

    Camino del Norte - June 23, 2015 start date

    Hi Rick: Thank you for your guidance. Your last few sentences rung a bell with me. Things like "posting home" articles you don't need and "getting physically used to the long days and greater km's that I failed to train for." It reminds me of my first week on the Camino Frances. I am...

    Camino del Norte - June 23, 2015 start date

    Hi Angeliki: The Confraternity of Saint James has a volume 1 (first half) and volume 2 (second half) guide to the Camino del Norte. I believe that each can be purchased from their store for 5 Euros. There is another book out there as well that I think is called the Northern Caminos which...

    Camino del Norte - June 23, 2015 start date

    Thank you for the response. I think then the Norte in many respects will be like the Frances but with a lot less traffic which is something that would appeal to me.

    Camino del Norte - June 23, 2015 start date

    Hi MKalcolm: Thank you for the response. I have heard that the Norte is a vastly different experience than the Frances. Admittedly, I did enjoy the camaraderie and the 'camino family' experience of the Frances and I loved the social and cultural exchanges experienced along the way. I stayed...

    Thank you Nadine. Now it is only 7 months and counting. June will be here before you know it! Best to you on your journey as well. John

    Hi Wanderer: I'll keep an eye out for you just the same. Buen Camino! John

    Camino del Norte - June 23, 2015 start date

    Hi Lettingo: Thank you very much for the advice and especially about the swimming trunks. The water looks remarkable and I will definitely be using the beaches from time to time. I appreciate your advice also on the albergues and the distances between them so planning will definitely be more...
