Hey friends,
I read about the topic on the "first day of the Camino experience," and the first post talked about Pamplona being completely shut down when he arrived. I know the Spanish take their holidays seriously, so what do you suggest? We will arrive in Madrid Apr 30, stay a day, bus to Pamplona and arrive around 3pm. What should we expect? Should we book a hotel in advance? Should we aim to stay in a pilgrim's hostel? Pamplona is our starting point. Also, do you think the bus service will be a bit more stressful or easier because of the holiday?
Thank in advance!
