Hi Kanga, thanks for your advice, the station the train leaves and takes us to Bayonne is called Sants so hopefully we will find something close by.Lisa what a pity you are only having one night there! It is a fabulous city. When we were there for a couple of weeks we stayed in the Eixample district, which is the very elegant 20th century area influenced by the modernista movement . But as you are there for only one night after a long trip from Australia, you will be exhausted and probably only want to sleep. As you say, close to the train station is best.
There are three different stations in Barcelona from which long distance trains leave - make sure you know which it is before you look for a hotel.
I am wracking my brains trying to remember the name of the hotel I used when I was leaving Spain via Barcelona Sants and only had a night. It was very close, and fine. There is actually a hotel within the Sants station but, from memory, it was quite expensive and not where I stayed.
Hi, we were in Barcelona in August and stayed at Hotal Baler (www.hostalbaler.com) for a few nights. It was close to Sants, and not far from the Placa Espanya. Small rooms as typical in a Spanish Hostal, clean, good breakfast.Hello,
my friend and i will be embarking on Camino France in May 2017.
We will arrive in Barcelona from Australia on 1st May 2017, and spend 1 night in Barcelona before catching the train on 2nd May to Bayonne and then taxi to St Jean Pied de Port.
Can anyone recommend a good place to stay in Barcelona with convenient access to the railway.
Also any recommendation for Alburge in St Jean Pied de Port
Thanks Lisa and Jenny
If your staying near the centre visit the all you can eat Chinese restaurant. It's awesome or a trip to la turantula Mexican restaurant. If by any chance your by sagrada familia. It's a bit far out but the bars around there offer tapas y cana (half pint) for €1. Can sit there all night get pissed out of your face and well fed cheaply
.... Can sit there all night get pissed out of your face ...
it's ok... I walked by that Chinese place...I feel pretty confident saying you were probably very early 20's when you were eating there. Tastes and priorities change...and I saw a LOT of 20-somethings in that place, so not a bad tip for that age group spending a few weeks in Barcelona.Sorry. English expression

Hi Charles I will be arriving in Barcelona on 14 of May,catchinI am leaving for Barcelona in late May , your comment about taking a taxi from Bayonne to St jean interests me . It seems a lot more streamlined a process than taking many different local trains . I am notorious for getting onto the wrong ones ; though not always my fault .
Any idea of the approximate cost of the taxi fare ?

Hi Charles I will be arriving in Barcelona working my way to Pamplona then to St Jean. I will be interested in sharing a taxi with you.

Hi Charles thanks for replying,it's a shame that we are leaving Melbourne different times. As suggested to me keep an eye out for pilgrims when you are at Sant Railway station,hopefully you might be able to share a taxi ride. All the best Charles Buen CaminoHi Tony , a late reply , i have been away for a few days .
I am thinking of either leaving Melb. on the 24th or St.Jp.dP on the 24th of May It might be easier to see how things pan out closer to the date .
