Specifics on how to get taxi from Roncesvalles to Biarritz?

[dillsburger]

Okay, this is an odd request, but can anyone suggest the best way to get a taxi from Roncesvalles to the Biarritz airport? Two of us are hiking the Camino Portugues, but we also want to hike over the Pyrenees--just to say we did! So after finishing in SdC, we're catching a flight to Biarritz, taking a train or taxi to SJPP, spending the night, and then walking to Roncesvalles. We need to catch a flight out of Biarritz, so we need to know how best to get there. Thanks for any assistance!

Dunno if this is the best way, but http://www.expressbourricot.com/ will definitely do it. My guess is they will go into shock from carrying passengers the "wrong" way, but will happily take your money!

a.m.. Taxi from Roncesvailles to St.Jean Pied de Port. Lunchtime train to Bayonne.

We did this one year returning home to France.

In 2012 the taxi cost was approximately €45 shared between two of us.

Else you could wait at the taxi rank but you might end up waiting for a while.

Caroline at express bourricot cannot pick up in pain.
I few years ago she told me that the Spanish taxi drivers complained at her doing this. Taken to court and fined heavily.
You can phone and ask her but I am sure that is still the case.
You might need to get a local taxi.

Sorry I meant to put Spain -cannot pick up in Spain.

Or walk to the border and meet the taxi there.
