Albergue near Pamplona Bus Station

Time of past OR future Camino
2010, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2024
I will be arriving by bus in Pamplona on March 30 from Madrid, after a long flight from California. I will be picked up by Caroline of Express Bourricot at the bus station in Pamplona the following day to go to SJPDP. Due to lack of sleep and jet lag, I would like to stay at the albergue nearest to the bus station. In looking over the map, it looks like Jesus y Maria is the nearest one. Is this correct? When can I check in and when do I need to check out? I will not be picked up by Caroline until 4 p.m. Once again, thank you all on the forum for the information that I have received in preparation for the Camino. I think this is one of the last questions that I have before leaving.

Buen Camino,

Hieu
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Hi Hieu,

The albergue is not far away at all, less than a kilometre from busstation. Paderborn, the other one is more out of the direction.

Don't know what time you arrive but take into consideration that albergues normally close at ten and will want you to leave at eight in the morning.

If you prefer a hostal tell me and I will give you some suggestions.
Like this one...42 € for a single, close to station...

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Thank you Javier and Sabine! Once again, this forum is fantastic. Muchas gracias! -Hieu
Hi Hieu,

I hope your pilgrimage was wonderful! I'm following in your footsteps.

I am traveling from SFO to Madrid this April. I am planning, like you did, to travel to Pamplona from Madrid.
- How did your travels go?
- How were factors such as bus (vs train), jet lag, hostel versus albergue?

For the Pamplona to SJPP portion, I have found a hostel, http://www.corazonpuro.es/, that will pick up pilgrims in Pamplona, feed them dinner, house them, give them breakfast the next morning, and give them a ride to SJPP.
- What do you think of that?
- How did Caroline of Express Bourricot work out for Pamplona to SJPP?
- Did arrival time in SJPP play a role in your evening and the start of your walk?

Thank you in advance for your answers! Grateful for any wisdom you can share :)

I'm not Hieu but I can answer some of your questions.

The bus service from Madrid to Pamplona is simple.
There are many buses from T4 in Madrid to Pamplona all day long.
http://caminosantiago2.blogspot.com/2013/12/getting-from-madrid-to-pamplona-and.html

There are some good threads on here about CorazonPuro. Most people have really enjoyed their service.

Carolyn is no longer transporting clients from Spain to France.
There were problems legally and with the Pamplona Taxi Companies.
I suggest you email Maripi Taxi Company and ask them the fare to SJPP:
maripi@sanfermingrupo.com

Here are the prices for a taxi that will hold 8 pilgrims last year.
This is a "per taxi" cost so if you can find others, you can share the cost:

Cada servicio de taxi (entre 1 y 8 pax) entre Pamplona y Saint Jean Pied de Port tiene el siguiente coste:

- De lunes a viernes en horario de 06:00 a 22:00 horas 96,00 euros

- De lunes a viernes en horario de 22:00 a 06:00 horas 120,00 euros

- Sábados, Domingos y festivos 120,00 euros

Annie! Thank you so much; you are a wealth of knowledge!

Annie is a camino veteran. I've seen her posts on just about every camino subject. Just want to take this opportunity to again say "Thanks" to Annie and "Buen camino" to T-Rex and taozenqi. -Hieu
Thank you! I just saw this today :)

Janika, I'm not sure if they take reservations but I bet there will be plenty of beds available. Paderborn is another wonderful albergue within walking distance from the bus station but there, you must arrive early in order to get a bed, depending on the time of year. And if for some weird reason you do not get a bed at one of the albergues, Pamplona is chock full of places to sleep. If you want to make reservations at a private lodging, try booking.com

Hi Camino Friends, I am on a similar situation. Since my flight to Madrid arrives at 14:20 the next bus to Pamplona I can get leaves at 16:00 arriving at 21:50. Is this too late to get in the Albergue Jesus y Maria? Do I need some kind of documentation as a Pilgrim in order to be accepted in the Albergue? If so, I can stay in Madrid some place close to the bus station in Av America and get the bus to Pamplona early next day. Your words of wisdom are appreciated.
