Getting from SJPdP

Hi, my daughter and I are hoping to walk the Camino in June/July, starting from Roncesvalles we plan on flying into Biarritz - how do we get from the airport to our starting point? Any ideas/suggestions?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Hi, I'm starting on June 2nd from St Jean and flying into Biarritz. Then getting train from Biarritz to Bayonne and then Bayonne to St Jean. Guess you can get a taxi to Roncesvalles from St Jean. Pre bought tickets online for trains. Check out train strike dates before you book. There are threads on here about the strikes with dates. Check them out.
 
It is a very pleasant two days walk from St Jean to Roncesvalles via Valcarlos. There is a bus service to Pamplona but not via Roncesvalles as I recall. Unless you have already booked your flights you might want to consider traveling via Madrid. There is an excellent traveling to and from the Camino section on the forum where you will find all the info you need.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Hola Ana

Welcome to the forum!
At the top of the web page there is a 'Search forums'.
It is a splendid starting point to begin planing your Camino.
I entered 'Biarritz to Roncesvalles' and it showed serveral pages of links.

Here is one:
https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/biarritz-to-roncesvalles.24740/
Be aware that it is from 2014, but still some good information.

Also with a quick google showed this page at the top:
https://www.rome2rio.com/s/Biarritz/Roncesvalles-Navarre-Spain

I hope this helps and
Buen Camino to you and your daughter

Bus from the airport (ask at the information desk - it's facing you as you emerge into arrivals) to Bayonne Mairie. (Town Hall) Takes about 25 minutes.
Walk across the river to Bayonne SNCF station.
Train (or replacement bus) to SJPdP.
Simples!
