You could get a flight to Pamplona and then go by busI'm in the planning stages of a trip to Spain. The intention is to fly into Barcelona, visit that city and a few others, ending up in Madrid. (Approx. 15 days) From there I'd hoped to travel to St Jean-Pied-du-Port to walk the Camino. I'm not sure what the best way to get there and how long it might take? I hope to land in Spain at the end of April. Nothing is set and my dates can be fluid. Suggestions and advice would be appreciated.
I should have sent that you can get a flight from Madrid to Pamplona on Iberia and then take the bus to SPdPYou could get a flight to Pamplona and then go by bus
The 17:30 service doesn't start until April 17.Apparently leaving Pamplona at 14:30 and 17:30, takes 1:45 to SJPP:
There is a Camino from Madrid. Why not walk that one? Despite what your researches may have revealed so far there is no such thing as “the” Camino. There is “the” Camino Frances but it is only one of myriad routes. If you are minded to walk that route, starting in StJdP, that small town in southern France, rather than Pamplona, an historic town in northern Spain, then the logistics are challenging but surmountable. And easily sorted with 15 minutes on www.rome2rio.com.
Happy planning and Buen Camino
If you read the stats (and someone can put in exact figures here) I think about half the people who walk into Santiago start in Sarria, and the others start progressively along the Camino. So lots of people do start in other towns, Pamplona, Burgos Leon etc.I originally wanted to do the Camino from Seville but decided it would require to much time. I then looked at Madrid, but decided against it for other reasons. Starting from Pamplona would be an option. Has anyone started from there? What would I lose if I did?
Starting from Pamplona would be great. Many pilgrims do just that. You would not lose out on the experience of walking the Frances at all.I originally wanted to do the Camino from Seville but decided it would require to much time.

I had a most expensive lesson trying to figure this out AFTER i had set other plans in stone. My advice: figure out the bus schedule from madrid to pamplona, then from pamplona to st jean before anything else, then work around those dates to get to madrid. Had i done it that way i would have not had to spend $300 usd on a plane from madrid to pamplona in order to make connections in time.I'm in the planning stages of a trip to Spain.

I too landed in Madrid. Took the train to Pamplona, then a taxi to SJPP. Was going to take the bus, but it was leaving much later, and two other pilgrims were standing at the bus stop when we arrived. The 4 of us flagged down a taxi, for the same cost as the bus. A great way to see the countryside and preview of your days to come.I'm in the planning stages of a trip to Spain.

Three Camino’s from SJPdP and my favorite way to there is to take the morning flight to Biarritz and pre-arrange Bourricot transport. I was there by noon and had time to enjoy the town before heading out the next day.
It was Iberia, but it looks like they do not have the direct flight anymore. I recently found other flights that used to be direct now having a connection. Too bad, it was such an easy way to go. Buen Camino.I haven't seen a morning flight to Biarritz- everything has a connection somewhere it seems! Which airline do you fly?
