Frances: 2022, 2023. Portuguese 2024.
Is 3 hours sufficient time between arriving at Madrid airport (assuming on time arrival), getting checked item, going through customs, getting taxi to train station, finding right track and getting on a train to Pamplona?
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Three hours sounds like plenty of time provided you know what your doing. It has taken me an average of 25 mins to get from plane through the passport stamp to my luggage pick-up. Grab your bag exit the swing doors turn right and follow the signs to T4 Metro- 25 mins walling in Airport to T4 including using vending to get metro ticket. On the metro is takes an average of 40 min total. (see insert). Rende trains going to Pamplona depart from Atocha). A metro Line starts at T4 at the airport.
