Travel from Barcelona to St Jean

We are flying into Barcelona and want to know what travel options we have to get to St.Jean?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
In the spring and summer, there is a bus from Pamplona to SJPdP (or buses). Check international service with ALSA. In the winter there are buses only to Roncesvalles, then you will need a taxi.

In May the buses are 1430 and 1730 for 22 Euro.
