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.
Conda (a subsidiary of ALSA) operates a seasonal bus from the Pamplona bus station to SJPdP. By end of May there will likely be one bus daily. Conda will refer to an ALSA schedule ... use the international tab. The schedule won't be posted until a month before it operates (probably Easter).
Alternatively, take Conda bus from Pamplona to Biarritz Airport. Catch the local Chronoplus bus #14 to Gare Bayonne. Take the SNCF TER train or autocar (bus) from Bayonne to SJPdP. The TER service operates 4 or 5 times daily all year.
Alternatively, take Autobuses Artieda from Pamplona to Roncesvalles. Take a taxi from Roncesvalles to SJPdP.
If I ever go that route again (and I may very well do it this spring) I will arrange with Corazon Puro, both on the way to SJpdP and on my walk down to Pamplona. Wonderful people and a very nice stay and meal.
Think I'll try Corazon Pura next time as earlier on it was always a hassel to get to SJPDP so I have have never started there - This has been a very informative thread to me.
