Hi all
I'm planning walking the Camino Vasco del Interior in a few weeks time (from June 16th), I was going to start from Irun but I have been invited by friends to stay with them in Bayonne before I set off. I vaguely recall there is a route that links Bayonne to Irun that I can walk. Is this correct and can anyone point me in the right direction to finding a guide/maps/accomodation for this section?
I have the CJS guide from Irun so Im ok there.
Hope you can help
Davey
And if all else fails, you could just wing it by simply walking along the coast ;-) SY
@KinkyOne should have started the route today. He posted some useful info on www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/via-de-bayona-may-18th-and-onwards.39888 (mainly on posts 1, 13 and 14).
Oh, and if I am not completely mistaken this connecting way doesn't include a tunnel. Perhaps you mean the San Adrian connection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Adrian_(tunnel) if I am right it might be helpful if you adjust the thread title to make it easier for people to find this info in times to come. Buen Camino, SY

Two different routes both of them passing through the tunnel of S. Adrián:
Both routes share a common section from Irún to Estavillo being the tunnel on that common section.
- Vía de Bayona: From Bayonne to Burgos
- Camino Vasco del Interior: From Irún to Santo Domingo de la Calzada.
Not sure, I know the tunnel route as the route that connects to Santo Domingo, but then I might be wrong! SY
I thought the Tunnel Route was another name for the Vasco del Interior?

The Via Bayonne I thought went to Pamplona from Bayonne?
The three names: Camino Vasco del Interior, Vía de Bayona and Tunnel route are many times used indistinctly but, AFAIK, as I said above, the Vía de Bayona is the one from Bayonne to Burgos and the Camino Vasco del Interior, the one from Irún to Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Nowadays, the Camino Vasco del Interior is much well-known than the Vía de Bayona. Both of them pass through the Tunnel because the tunnel is in the section shared by both routes. It's true the Tunnel route isn't (usually) used for the Vía de Bayona but it crosses the tunnel as well as the Camino Vasco del Interior...
That's the Camino Baztanés.
Should I change the thread title?
No, you are not. But this same route have a detour to Burgos.Not sure, I know the tunnel route as the route that connects to Santo Domingo, but then I might be wrong! SY
From the Chatedral of Bayonne, follow the route of the river. Then you will find a signpost with the three diferent ways.
But this same route have a detour to Burgos.
Maybe you are rigth, but there are best insfracture at Santo Domingo,s de tour.If we consider it a single route with two branches (one to Burgos and another one to Santo Domingo de la Calzada), the detour would be the route to Santo Domingo de la Calzada (because it takes longer to reach Santiago de Compostela that way). In other words, the route to Santo Domingo de la Calzada would be a detour from the (straight) route to Burgos (not the other way around).
