Hello from Canada! We are two friends in our 60's; Margot and Tony.
We hope to arrive at Barajas Airport and clear customs before noon on the 16th (assuming el Camino provides...) and have researched various ways of travelling to Pamplona. Are there any other pilgrims arriving that day who would like to ride-share or have recommendations on the easiest/cheapest way for newbies? The Renfe/Atocha option looks good, but Atocha (and getting to Atocha) looks confusing and we wouldn't want to miss the fast train. Blablacars suggests only contacting the site a couple of days in advance which leaves us hanging a bit. The bus from the airport is a long ride after a long (probably sleepless) flight, but still an option.
Similarly, are there any pilgrims who would like to ride-share from Pamplona to SJPP on the 17th, or is the noon bus the best option? My email address is anthpem@hotmail.com if anyone would like to ride-share.
Ivor, what a great site and forum you have here!
Thanks so much!
