starting from sjpd April 30

emv0816 · Mar 25, 2013

I will be arriving Madrid from Atlanta the morning of April 29 then Bus to Pamplona. Is there a bus from Pamplona to SJPD? Last year (Sept.'12, I started in Pamplona and went as far as Burgos) I met some pilgrims at the Madrid airport who were bus-ing to Pamplona and if I had been starting in SJPD I could have shared a taxi with them from Pamplona to SJPD. Maybe the same will happen this year. However if it doesn't I'd like to know of other options.

Is there a bus from Pamplona to SJPD?

Maybe. ALSA has bus service for Easter week, then resumes at the beginning of May. You may be a day too early! However, if the Easter week buses are running full, ALSA may continue throughout April. You may have to "wing" it!

Buen camino.

Thanks. I guess I'll be sharing a taxi as I'll be making that trip to SJPD on April 30. Would you happen to know what kind of weather I can expect going up and over the Pyrenees at that time of year? maybe snow?
