My travel from Bilbao til SJPdP may 2014 (2014- schedule and prices)

Bilbao airport to Bilbao centro
The stop for the Bizkaibus 3247 is outside arrivals and runs into central Bilbao at 30 minute intervals from 06:15 to midnight.

Thankyou for posting this option. It looks like this could work for us. We have discovered flying into Bilbao was probably not the best idea.

Another option:

Bus Bilbao-San Sebastián (aka Donostia) with PESA (http://www.pesa.net)
Bus Donostia-Bayonne with PESA too.
Train Bayonne-Saint Jean Pied de port (although due to works on the tracks you have to change in Cambo les Bains from a train to a bus). Take a look at the web of the SNCF (http://www.sncf.com) for info about schedules and fares.

Thankyou all for your help. We have opted for a hassle free option and booked transport with Caroline of Express Bourricot. Appreciated all your suggestions. Now that all the snags have been worked out, the excitement is mounting. We can't wait to start our Camino

I think flying into Bilbao is a terrific idea! It's a smallish town with enough to see to make it perfect for a day or two to recover from jet lag. The old town is delightful for strolling, the public transportation is terrific and effective, and the museum is world famous, if small.

Oh don't get me wrong, I am excited to be in Bilbao and excited to visit Guggenheim museum!
