starting from sjpd April 30

[emv0816]

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.

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?
