I have a feeling that the buses from Pamplona to St-Jean can only be reserved within a month or so. I have run into that problem before, finding that there was no bus information. Try again a bit closer to the date.Greetings - My trip has been postponed two weeks due to injury. I now leave mid September for the Camino Frances starting at SJPP
I am unable to book a bus from Pamplona—>SJPP Have these buses stopped running?
I cancelled my previous reservation on 9/1 for the noon Renfre bus. Your input in much appreciated.
Thank you Danielle. That is what I was thinking. However, I booked my 9/1/22 ticket in April. I will keep trying.I have a feeling that the buses from Pamplona to St-Jean can only be reserved within a month or so. I have run into that problem before, finding that there was no bus information.

I hope I am right. I would like to take the bus Sept 30. If they don't have a bus, I will post here to find companions for a shared taxi. Good luck.Thank you Danielle. That is what I was thinking. However, I booked my 9/1/22 ticket in April. I will keep trying.
Are you doing the entire Camino Frances and walking through October?I hope I am right. I would like to take the bus Sept 30. If they don't have a bus, I will post here to find companions for a shared taxi. Good luck.
Actually, I am just walking for 2 weeks. Starting St. Jean and not sure where I will end... I have been many times before and this time, a friend wants to try it; she is not sure how she will do because of a foot problem so no real plan... If you are starting then, you are welcome to walk with us although I will walk to Orisson and back on Oct 1, then, taxi to Orisson early on Oct 2, and walk to Burguete. My friend will sleep in Roncesvalles. I know it sounds funny but as far as Orisson and Roncesvalles are concerned, been there, done that and prefer St-Jean and Burguete!Are you doing the entire Camino Frances and walking through October?
Thank you for the invite. I start walking on the 15th. Staying in Orisson before moving forward. I wish you the best of luck!Actually, I am just walking for 2 weeks.

Hi there, my friend and I will be leaving SJPDP on September 21. I too was concerned that buses no longer ran from Pamplona, however, it is as stated above, from my investigations on the Alsa site and putting in 'mock' dates, that tickets are only released approximately 4-5 weeks in advance. It's worthwhile to note that the bus seems to only run once per day at 12 midday. Rest easy, and buen camino.Greetings - My trip has been postponed two weeks due to injury.

I, too, have the same dilemma! I’ll be getting off the train in Pamplona on August 31 wondering how I will get to SJPDP!Actually, I am just walking for 2 weeks.

I just checked Rome2rio. There are bus tickets showing available for purchase - noon bus - on 8/31 and 9/1. Schedules further away are not yet available. Good luck!I, too, have the same dilemma! I’ll be getting off the train in Pamplona on August 31 wondering how I will get to SJPDP!
Hi, I had a same problem of booking a bus trip to SJPP from Pamplona for 9/14/2022. All bus websites are saying “no bus found”.Greetings - My trip has been postponed two weeks due to injury. I now leave mid September for the Camino Frances starting at SJPP

When I checked, I too, noticed the bus runs at 12 midday. However, my train arrives at 1:30.Hi there, my friend and I will be leaving SJPDP on September 21.

My train arrives at 1:30. I bought the ticket before checking the bus schedule. It was the only early train so I booked it.I just checked Rome2rio. There are bus tickets showing available for purchase - noon bus - on 8/31 and 9/1. Schedules further away are not yet available. Good luck!
I am travelling from Madrid so will need to take the earliest train at 7:25 am in order to make the bus at 12 noon to SJPDP. You may have to consider a night in Pamplona or perhaps an additional night in SJPDP, however, this may have impacts on any future bookings you have, if you have them. Renfe offers some refund for change of time/ticket, it might be worth the financial loss instead of upsetting your schedule?My train arrives at 1:30.

Thank you for your input. I think I will hire a taxi. From the readings I’ve done it looks like it’s common to try to share a ride with other pilgrims when possible.I am travelling from Madrid so will need to take the earliest train at 7:25 am in order to make the bus at 12 noon to SJPDP.

I tried online as well to book from Pamplona to Roncesvalles. Published schedule went through Sept 1, no updates, and no response to my email.Greetings - My trip has been postponed two weeks due to injury. I now leave mid September for the Camino Frances starting at SJPP

The bus from Pamplona to Roncesvalles is a different carrier than the one for St. Jean Pied de Port. And, "Ticket reservations cannot be made online. Neither by phone. The purchase of tickets must be made on the same day of the trip.". The bus leaves from the underground bus station just 750 meters/10 min walk from Plaza Del Castillo. When you arrive at the bus station, you don't pay at the tickets booth, you simply walk directly to the bus loading area. When the bus arrives you pay the driver the 5 euro on the spot. Note that the once-daily bus leaves Pamplona at 5pm, so be sure to make a reservation online for Roncesvalles in case they are full, so that you have a reserved bed when you arrive at 6pm or so. I think there is a data field in the reservation form for arrival time. If not, add your arrival time in the notes section.

I'm planning to get to Pamplona late AM on Sept 14 and travel to Roncesvalles in the afternoon. If you're there then and interested in sharing a taxi to SJ (dropping me in Roncesvalles on the way ), or if you get updated bus info, please get in touch!

Thinking about that as well!If you are all planning to walk to Santiago, and the bones of one who may have touched the divine, why not start walking from Pamplona?
