Time of past OR future Camino
July & August 2018
This will be our first Camino and due to logistics and time I've decided to start my camino in Pamplona. Will be taking train from Barcelona arriving mid afternoon. Any suggestions from others who have been there and done that would be much appreciated.
Cheers. :)
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

I can recommend the smaller albergue Casa Paderbon run by the German St James confraternity.
Quiet and next to the nautical centre.

Albergue Aloha is terrific: it’s a lovely old building, quite modern and very clean, and it has a great sitting area and a lovely rooftop terrace. Close to the Camino as well..,
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
I stayed at the Aloha as well. Very clean and you can cook if you wish. Also a good breakfast is provided. Very close to the bus station and easy to get back on the Camino.
 
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
