Hi fellow pilgrims,
Arriving Spain in mid April to walk the Camino Frances from SJPP, trying to figure which way is cheaper/faster to get to my start point. I can either arrive to Barcelona or Madrid airports, from there i need to get Bus/Train.. Would love to hear your voice which is preferred. Thank you.

Babchook:

Either airport will work. You can get a train or bus to Pamplona and then dependent on time of year a bus to SJPdP.

There is a thread that identifies a Casa Rural that will pick you up in Pamplona, feed you, provide a bed for the night and drive you to SJPdP the next day.

Ultreya,

Renfe train to Irun/Hendaye, SNCF train Irun/Hendaye to Bayonne. SNCF TER train Bayonne to SJPdP.

It works from either Madrid or Barcelona (Sants).

Madrid would be my choice because homeward bound Santiago to Madrid makes easier logistics.

It also works with SNCF. Barcelona to Toulouse, Toulouse to Bayonne, Bayonne to SJPdP.

Thanks mates! It does make more sense to arrive to and leave from Madrid. So i guess, Madrid it is! Buen Camino
