We are flying into Barcelona and want to know what travel options we have to get to St.Jean?
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
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.
