Biarritz to St Jean or Pamplona on saturday the 23rd

Rain Saturday and Sunday, but the snow line is 1500 to 2100 meters, so mud will be your biggest problem.

Buen camino!

Hi Scubajunky,

Myself, my girlfriend (Irish) and forum member Fanguellos (Danish) will be arriving to Biarritz next Saturday at 4pm on the London Stansted flight.

We are interested in getting a taxi to St Jean as we would arrive there before 17:30, with time to get some provisions in for the following day, relax, etc. Our albergue has a curfew of 22:00, so that doesn't leave so much time for chilling out. My girlfriend and I are interested in exploring the town a little, and maybe having a fancy meal before we set off on our Camino.

Fanguellos's post is here:

Otherwise you get a bus to Bayonne and then a train to St Jean, arriving at 19:30. The train costs €19.20 per person. We got a quote of €110 for a taxi - around €8 extra compared to the train, to arrive 2 hours earlier. If you're interested in joining us, please let me know.

I think the weather is warming up and hopefully the snow on the route Napoleon from St Jean will have melted by Sunday. Otherwise the Valcarlos route is open.

call the pilgrims office in SJPDP to make sure the pass is open and not dangerous
