Hi aron,

I took an inexpensive flight from STN-BIQ (Stansted-Biarritz). I believe it was Ryan Air. From where in the UK would you depart?

Keep in mind the Fiesta de San Fermin starts 6 July and ends 14 July. Starting your walk at the end of May should give you plenty of time to get to SdC (maybe even Muxia and/or Fisterra). 5-6 weeks? You could then train back to Pamplona. Being in Pamplona at that time is an incredible experience. I was able to do this after my first walk.

Trust in the arrows,
Simeon

Go to skyscanner . For your starting point put in UK.

It's likely a little too early for May deals.

The closest airport to SJPdP is located at Biarritz (BIQ).
http://en.biarritz.aeroport.fr/

Note the tab Destinations/Airlines to find information about flights to Biarritz.

Bilbao is 2 hour bus ride from Bayonne where the train to SJPdP departs several times a day. There are 2 buses daily from Bilbao to Bayonne and they cost less than 20 euros.

I was going to do this a year and a half ago, I trained up for months and then two weeks before i was supposed to go,
I broke my leg! The leg is alot stronger again now, And i have just started doing backpack walks again.
But lost all my info on the walk so alot of planning ahead :0
