Can someone tell me how to get to the El Camino trail from the train station in Pamplona?
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Probably just by asking and walking. It is not far. The station is down on the flat, and the nearest intersection point with the Camino is across the river and up inside the city walls. Which you want to visit anyway! If you look on Google maps you will see two circular gardens in the middle of Pamplona - the camino runs roughly across the one that is marked on my map as Jardins de la Taconera. People will help you find it. If I was clever enough I'd take a screen shot with a mud map drawn on it - but I'm not.
 
Def take time to have a walk about Pamplona,wonderful city and as Kanga said the route is easy to find.

Pamplona old city is up a 30 meter hill, surrounded by a Roman Wall, from the train station. The yellow path will bring you into the city via the old roman gate. There is also an underground escalator that will bring you up the hill to the old city, Ascensor Urbano de Descalzo, marked by the brown path. 30 feet inside the old city gate is the Albergue Casa Ibarrola. Pamplona is worth an extra day. Buen Camino.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
And by the way, it is El Camino which means "the Road."
If you say the "El Camino" you are saying the the Road.
Or for those of us who know "the Road" as "the Camino" . . .
Just sayin' :)

Thanks! you are RIGHT!
I corrected it.
But since most people know the "road" as the "Camino" . . .

A lot of people just use Camino, it's more handy! I, while walking on Spanish sites, use the name of El Camino when applicable. :D

I've completed your map, if you don't mind.

The red line is the Camino path.

The blue line is the quickest way to get into the path if you want to start walking after arriving.
