Getting home from Logroño

[Astrid Callomon]

Hi!

I'm hiking the Camino de France this coming May, I'm doing the whole route, but friends who are starting with me are doing just five days or so....

I figure at about 17 miles a day roughly, we will make it to Logroño.

Can anyone advise the best way for my friends to return home to the UK from there?

Thanks

Astrid

Direct direct bus from Logrono to Madrid Airport T4 - a wealth of UK air-routes from there. Bus fare 18 - 30 Euro, depending on time of booking and type of service.

Oh great idea.

Or perhaps to Bilbao....

Thanks!

Hi Astrid

There are 2 easy ways to get from Logrono back to the UK.

1) Take a bus from Logrono coach station to Bilbao coach station, where you can get a bus to the airport and fly back to the UK. Easy Jet and other airlines fly to the UK from here.

2) Get the train from Logrono to Zaragoza, change to the bus which takes you to the airport and then fly back (Ryanair fly to Stansted). I would recommend the train over the coach; if the tickets are bought in advance it can also be cheaper as well as more comfortable.

Coach times can be found here http://www.aautobuses.com/index.php/autobuses

If you have not travelled by train in Spain before this site explains all the different classes, types of trains etc.

Google maps for location of the coach and train stations

The airport websites will tell you the times of the buses to and from the airports; they are usually very frequent and only cost a couple of euros.

Be aware that the busses may be fully booked - I've been caught out myself and had to take 2 trains to get to Madrid.

Bilbao is a good option . There is a 7 storey Albergue on the hill 20 minutes walk from the bus station - Vueling offers cheap fairs to LHR but book early to benefit.
