Starting June 1st from Pamplona - transportation from train?

[L.A. Miele]

I am taking the train from Barcelona and arrive in Pamplona in the afternoon of May 30th. I realize that I will have to stay in Pamplona overnight and start walking the next day after this. How do I find where the Camino starts when I arrive by train? Is there a bus from there? Is it easy to connect? How much is the bus? Would most be speak English in this city? Do I sound a bit anxious to you?

Pamplona Train Station is administered by adif. You can find station information here:

Google Map for Pamplona:

Find the station on the map ... its indicated by a train symbol.

If you have a guide book ... its should show the roads that the camino follows. If not ... aim for Ave Pio XII, plaza consitorial, or Cizur Menor

You will need to hike/taxi to the old center of town from the train station, where you will find the albergues, hostales, and restaurants. The Camino runs right through the middle, one block from the main plaza. The bus route is very circuitous, so walking or taxi are your better choices. Don't expect much English. Buen camino!

General rule of thumb anywhere is, find the cathedral. Almost everywhere, the camino passes the main church of a town and you can pick up the markers there.

Estella might be the only town on the Frances where that rule doesn't work.
