Many Airports in Europe fly into Biarritz. Iberian Airlines has regular flights. From Biarritz there is a train. OR you can reserve a van. We did and found 7 others in the airport who easily filled it to capacity. Cost was approximately 10 E

Enjoy, this is a fantastic experience

Hi we've travelled from Dublin to Madrid. When u arrive get shuttle bus to T4 and then the train or bus from there. We've been doing it in stages too and find Madrid the best and most economical. We LL hopefully be going Madrid to Burgos nxt July

are you from dublin

The Madrid metro will get you to Chamartin train station very easily with only one transfer. It is probably the least expensive option. If my memory serves me correctly it only cost me 3.80 Euros this past September and it gets you there in no time. The directions to the metro are very well marked in the airport. The train to Leon is rapid and comfortable. I would recommend that you make your train reservation ahead of time.

Skyscanner cheapest flights directs you to sites like Hoo2, TravelMerry etc, which have bad reviews and have hints of Scams. Has anyone had experience using Hop2 or TravelMerry? I am traveling from San Francisco to walk CF. Since I will have to do some plane changes, I am nervous about these "cheap" tickets.
