Thank you6-7 days of walking. Very well marked so no need of a guide. A guide book is handy but not necessary. Can get transportation back to st Jean or directly to a major city from Logrono.
Thank you yea I’m gona fly into birattz and gona sort out a return so maybe Bilbao or MadridWelcome, @tyrellstown! I see that you are from Dublin. Like you are planning to do, I, too have walked the Camino Frances in sections and know from experience that it's possible to travel from any point along the trail to anywhere and vice versa. However, some combinations of arrival airport and departure airport are more cumbersome, more time consuming or more costly than others. As already recommended, use www.rome2rio.com to check out your options. Off the top of my head and without checking flights from and to Dublin, I would say that Biarritz, Bilbao and even Madrid are best for arrival and Bilbao and Madrid are best for departure.
We walked the distance SJPP to Logroño in 8 days which is about average I think.
Buen camino!
Thank you.. I will get a flight from one of them cities back to DublinWhy would you want to get back to the starting point? This would be very complicated: you'd first have to get a bus to Pamplona, and then make your way back to SJPP from there - but there's a possibility this connection will no longer be running (Alsa is still deciding), and in any case you'd just be getting back to a small town in the middle of the Pyrenees so it's going to be quite difficult making your way to an airport from there.
It would be far easier to book a flight back from a city closer to Logrono with direct bus connections - in order of distance, try: Bilbao, Santander, San Sebastian, Zaragoza, Madrid. I'm sure Ryanair has direct flights from some of these places back to Dublin!
A week is plenty of time for the fit. That is, if you want to rush through it, dont stop to smell or even see the roses, dont stop to talk with anyone, and if all goes right with the weather. The path/road is clear, and you wont need a guide. Take it slower, you wont regret it.Hi
