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.

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.
