Happy New Year/Feliz Ano to everyone,
can someone give me detailed info, how best and easiest get from Madrid to St Jean PdP in April/May this year.
Thank you
Bem in Sydney
Thanks Pablo,
Madrid is the only option. As the people I will meet in StJPdP, are arriving in Madrid coming from NZ. they have to leave their main luggage in Madrid with friends, then want to find their easiest ad quickest way (?) to StJPdP to meet up with me, I'm coming from Germany at that time.
Hope someone can enlighten me!
Buen Camino Bem
Most direct route would be
Madrid to Pamplona by train (about 3.5 hrs from memory)
Then Bus to Roncesvalles (problem here is I think there is only 1 bus per day late afternoon evening and it gets to Roncesvalles in the evening)
Then you have to get to SJPDP by taxi. Helps if there are a few of you.
If there are a few of you you may even want to explore sharing a cab from Pamplona to SJPDP, because it really isnt that far.
A quick search in this forum will give you more details as this has been posted a few times. I just had a quick look but the pages aren't loading. Website must be celebrating the new year
Try again in a little while and you should have no problem.
Or maybe someone else has the details at their finger tips.
Oh just one more thing. I know someone who arrived at Madrid to catch the train to Pamplona and it was full not a single seat left and had to wait a day, so maybe a booking would be useful
I flew from Madrid to Pamplona. Very inexpensive and quick. Then I took the local bus from the airport to the bus station--which is real close to the large department store with a wonderful grocery in the basement.
