Hello Everyone:

I will be leaving for the Camino next week and plan to stay a night in Pamplona before heading over to St. Jean Pied de Port to start my walk on the Camino. I will be arriving by train from Madrid in the late afternoon and will need a hostel to stay the night. Does anyone have any recommendations that are not very far from the train station (within 1-2 km)? Also, can anyone recommend a cheap way to get to St. Jean on a Sunday? Any help/recommendation would be much appreciated.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Thanks for your reply. I won't technically be a pilgrim yet when I arrive in Pamplona because I won't have a pilgrim's passport yet?

And Is there any other way to get there via bus on a Sunday? The only bus looks like it leaves at 5:30pm... and I would like to leave much earlier. Any other ideas?
 
Jesus y Maria will sell you the credencial, stamp it, and sell you a bed! So will Paderborn, which is a bit further from the train station. They are acquainted with pilgrims who start in Pamplona.

That sounds like a pretty good deal. How do I contact "Corazon Puro" and does he speak English??? :) Cause my Spanish is pretty poor.

The hosts, Barbara and István, speak excellent English as well as Hungarian and are VERY helpful. Here is their web and contact.
