Hello!
I am coming to Barcelona Reus airport on 17th July around 17:00. Which is the best way to come to SJPP? I will probably need to oversleep in Barcelona (any suggestion for a cheap and reasonable accommodation?).
Thank for sharing your experiences!
Lana

We caught the train from Barcelona to Pamplona 4.5 hours then booked express burricott which picked us up in Pamplona and drive 1.5 hours to St Jean to our accomodation. We had no trouble at all and arrived fresh. Enjoy your camino.

I was just in Barcelona. Book your hostel ASAP! I had trouble finding a bed when I was there a week and a half ago. I have heard Kabul Backpackers is good. I stayed at Pension Palacio, their prices vary depending on what they have available. I paid 30 Euro for a private room with shared bath. It was very clean and the people are very nice. It is close to Barrio Gotic and the waterfront area, so lots of options for food and whatnot. There is a decent grocery store on Las Ramblas, too.
