Is anyone interested in sharing a taxi from Biarritz to St Jean on April 29th. Will be arriving from Dublin on Ryan Air at about 15:30 (there are already 2 of us)

Contact Caroline at Express Bourricot

She has a 'Lift Club' on her website where you can put your name down to share a taxi.

sillydoll,
Thanks, I saw another post recomending them and made contact. They have a 16:00 transport and Caroline assured me that we'll have plenty of time (we're arriving at 15:30) to make it.

In your opinion, should I try to make reservations in St Jean, or just wing it?

Remember that May 1 is the Labor Day holiday in Europe and many pilgrims may be beginning at the same time as you. I would suggest that you try to reserve in advance.

When you arrive in Saint-Jean go to the office of the Amies du Chemin de Saint Jacques at 39 rue de la Citadelle. They can provide you with a Credential and lodging assistance. Their telephone is 05 59 37 05 09. Their volunteers help run the albergue at 55 rue de la Citadelle. Recently renovated this is a fine place to stay. However they do Not accept reservations, but they DO help you find other lodging when you are on site.

Buen Camino!

Margaret, Thanks for the advice. I didn't know that May 1st was Labor Day. I'll look into a reservation or turn up at the Pilgrim office. Thanks again. Russell
