Getting to Somport

New Member
This is my third summer on the Camino, and I would like to start in Somport this time. Problem: I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to get to Somport from Madrid on May 7. Any suggestions? I've looked at Renfe, Alsa, and Continental schedules as a start but haven't been able to put an itinerary together. Thanks to anyone who can help. Nancy

P.S. Same message, just giving it a title this time. I'm getting the hang of this slowly.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Hi nparist,

I did some looking around, and here is one option:

Madrid - Zaragoza
...by train. There are many trains each day, see http://www.renfe.es .

Zaragoza - Canfran (5 km from Somport)
...by either..

- Train (local) :
http://www.renfe.es/regionales/regionales_aragon.html

- by Bus:
http://www.alosa.es/

Canfran - Somport
... 5km walk? Taxi? :?:

Here are the sites I used to sow this together:
http://www.renfe.es

http://www.canfranc.com/ (Click, Como Llegar)

I hope this helps,
Ivar
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Thanks for the info, Peter. This looks promising.
 

Ivar, thanks for the information. This looks makes Somport seem much more accessible. Nancy
