Time of past OR future Camino
Frances(2012)
I'll be resuming my solo camino in Logroño next week (last summer, I walked solo from SJPP to Logroño and this past fall with two friends from SJPP to Santiago), and i have a few questions before I set out that I hope the wise peregrinos of these forums can advise me:

-Is it better to buy the bus ticket ahead of time? I fly into Madrid and plan on taking the bus from the airport. Can I just buy a ticket there upon my arrival? This would be better...in case my flight gets in early or late, and I have take a different bus.
-I have my credential from the walk last summer; can I continue to use that? Or do I have to get a new one? If so, where can I get one? I was thinking they would have them at either the Cathedral or that pilgrim/tourist office near the bridge before crossing into downtown? ...I kind of want a Spanish credencial this time, anyways.

And if any of you happen to be on the camino in the next few weeks, listen for the sound of music. Or look for the guy with a kiddy sized guitar strapped to his pack.

Buen camino.

Personally, I would never buy a ticket ahead of time. If you are arriving on a long distance flight, you never know what may happen to delay you. ( I can relate to a couple of experiences in this respect. One time, we had a drug overdose case on the flight and had to make an emmergency landing in the Domenican Republic to off-load the guy. This year, it was a case of exceptionally bad weather that delayed my husband by nearly half a day). No, I certainly wouldn't book ahead!
You can continue to use your original Credential. That's really up to you. Apart from obtaining one at the Cathedral, I think you could get one at the
Albergue. Anne
 
hi alex,

i will second anne advice. you can get your ticket easily at the alsa bus office in t4. there are 5 buses to logrono per day.

you can continue to use your previous credencial del peregrino but make sure you get your stamp again in logrono, be it at the cathedral, at the municipal albergue, etc. if you want a spanish credencial del peregrino, i believe you should be able to get one at the cathedral, albergue or tourist office. also ask them to give you a stamp on the new credencial.

buena suerte. buen camino.
