Bayonne to Irun

[Bob-S]

I start the Del Norte on Tuesday - is there a direct train or bus to Irun from Bayonne?

How are you getting to Bayonne?
If it is by train from Paris the SNCF train line runs to the frontier at Hendaye. From Hendaye you can take a local shuttle train into Irun or even walk across the border. For more on Hendaye to Irun see this earlier Forum thread.

From the airport I walked a few hundred meters to the south to the railwaystation.
There I took a train to Hendaye, bought a real french croissant, crossed the bridge between France and Spain and the start of the Camino del Norte, walked on a little to Irun.
Started wondering what I was doing here in the first place, it was raining very hard.
Found the albergue. It's camino time again!

I walked last September from the airport to Hendaye in a day. Stupendous when one got to Bidart and then along the coast the whole way. It is a great start and quite a contrast from the Norte. There was also the possibility to get ferry from the Hendaye waterfront across to Spain and then walking along the coast towards San Sebastián. I wish I had done that as Irun was not particulary endearing. The albergue at Hendaye near the station was not nice.
