Puente la reina to Pamplona

[peregrina2000]

LTfit and I hope to arrive in Puente la Reina on Tuesday June 30. We will travel from there to Pamplona and from there to Ponferrada. We will meet Reb in Ponferrada the evening of July 1. I am wondering about schedules.

With help from the forum, I have learned that the best way to get to Ponferrada is a train from Pamplona at 13.17h. My question is about Puente la Reina to Pamplona. Is it possibly right that there is only one bus a day at 9:30 am, arriving Pamplona at 10:57 am (that must be a very circuitous route for a 21 km trip!).

If that's right, we'll have to spend the night in Puente. We'd much rather get to Pamplona on the 30th and have some time there.

Thanks from two peregrinas on the cami Catala.

There is more than one a day:

That's (the area of) the web of the company that makes the route where you can introduce your departure point, destination and travel date and verify by yourself that there's more than one daily bus and that you shouldn't have problems to travel on the afternoon/evening of June 29th.

P.S.: The route takes just 30-40 minutes (depending on the bus) and involves some stops.

Thanks much. I was unable to open the links till today, with our stronger wifi in Jaca. But I see that there are a couple of late afternoon buses, so we should be fine. Thanks a lot!
