That looks great i cant believe a bus goes all the way to Biarritz , brillo.

Travelling via Bilbao (Aer Lingus) would work too - there's a direct bus from Bilbao bus station to Logrono, and regular shuttle buses between Bilbao airport and the bus station.

We did this in reverse last year (i.e. Logrono to Bilbao) and it worked very well.

I travelled March last: Dublin / Madrid Airport / airport bus terminal T4 / Logrono

About a 2 hour wait in the Airport. Bus arrived in Logrono Centre a bit of a walk! from the Logrono Albergues on Camino.

MickMac · Dec 5, 2016

Thanks Nuala and Donal any idea on times.

clearskiescamino · Dec 5, 2016

I started a Camino from Logrono a number of years back and flew into Bilbao. There is a direct bus from the Termibus there.

clearskiescamino · Dec 5, 2016

@MickMac this might help if flying into Bilbao, but these times will probably change. http://www.autobuseslaunion.com/PDF/Bilbao-Logrono.pdf

Take PLM Autocares or ALSA bus, or Renfe train from Madrid.

2nd best option is take Burundesa y la Union bus from Bilbao termibus.

You could travel via Biarritz ... but its less than optimal. Take PESA bus from airport to San Sebastian/Donostia and Estellesa bus from San Sebastian to Logrono.

Or Transports64 816 bus from Biarritz Airport to Hendaye (or Irun Renfe Station) then take Metro Donostialdea from Hendaia to Colon station in Irun. Cross the tracks to Irun Renfe Station. Take Renfe Cercanias from Irun to San Sebastian. The new bus station in San Sebastian is colocated with the Renfe station.

The bus from Bilbao to Logrono takes barely 2 hours.

The airport shuttle bus goes directly to Bilbao bus station. You can buy your bus ticket to Logrono at the La Union kiosk. There's a reasonable bar there (serving remarkably pleasant vino tinto), also luggage storage.

When I did this a couple of months ago, I was in Logrono by 3pm.

Many thanks Bilbao it is.

1) walk to Dublin or Rosslare

2) get yourself passage on a cargo ship or ferry to the port near Bilbao

3) walk to Logroño

(you asked for the "best" route, not the "most convenient" ... )

Tia Valeria · Dec 6, 2016

By sea..Brittany Ferries goes Cork to Roscoff once a week. Stay on board for Plymouth and on to Santander. Just an addition to @JabbaPapa 's suggestion. A slow start to a Camino.

I see the Irish sense of humour is not a myth.

Nobody has mentioned rowing in a curragh, and you could land in any port you like.

Supposing that I do not want to return home from my Camino--a real possibility!--where can I get a backpack like this?

Great. Such an adventure would have to start in Kerry

A backpack like that would guarantee that you don't return home ...

Video brought tears to my eyes Hansard was a suprise not bad for an oscar winner. Brilliant!

wayfarer · Dec 7, 2016

Yes, Hansard was a surprise to me as well, I think he joined the team in the second year. I just wish they had made a longer video.
They have a facebook page here.

Not 100% sure, but at least two years. I will check.
