You don't have a choice to go in the morning.
I'm a terrible procrastinator, but I finally booked my airplane ticket to Madrid today. Flying in to Madrid on June 5th at 7:50 am. It's an Iberia Airlines flight out of Miami. Anybody had any experience with that airline before? I'm going to try to do the carry-on thing with my backpack and I figure that will let me get to the bus station to Pamplona a little quicker.
I hope to catch the 10:45 am bus to Pamplona.
Hi Mark,
Can you please give me details on getting to Pamplona and then on to SJPP? I fly in late at night so will have to stay in Madrid but would love to go to SJPP the following day.
Thanks
Here is the link to the bus line with the times, etc. Whariwharangi showed me the link.

Looks like there is a very early bus from Madrid to Pamplona which leaves at 1:15 am and gets to Pamplona at about 6:30 am. That would be a very tiring bus ride, but would get you into Pamplona early enough to catch the 2:30 pm bus to St. Jean which gets you there at 4:15 pm.
As i get in at 8.20pm the night before after 3 long flights to get to Madrid I cant imagine I will be able to do that at this stage. I have been suggested that there are often other pilgrims on the us to Pamplona so to convince them to cab it to SJPP for around 25E ea,,,,so fingers crossed I meet some.
I found the bus to Pamplona on that link but couldnt pull up anything to SJPP.....am I missing something??

2053 Madrid to Pamplona by train
ALSA provides ~seasonal~ bus service from Pamplona to Saint Jean Pied de Port through its subsidiary Conda. The bus stop in Saint Jean Pied de Port is located near the junction of Route d'Uhart and Route d'Arneguy. The Conda site advises that you purchase the ticket from Pamplona to Saint Jean Pied de Port separately from any other bus ticket.
Yes, thanks for the information.
My flight lands at 7:50 am, so I think that should be enough time to make the 10:45 am bus to Pamplona which gets me there at 3:35 pm which would put me early enough to catch the 5:30 pm bus to St. Jean which arrives there at 7:15 pm.
Should I make the bus reservations online? Is that recommended, or just wait until I get to the station?
Mike, you will be right on my tail. I am staying the night at Orrison on 6/6. I have been paying a lot attention at the weather forecast and unfortunately it is calling for rain for the next 10 days and the temperature range here in Biarritz is hovering between 55F to 65F, so it looks like a soggy, chilly start to the Camino.
Ah yes - Camino number two! I have a June 24 flight into Malaga to attempt again the Camino mozarabe - Malaya to Cordoba to Santiago !!! My feet literally dissolved last june and had to call it a day in Cordoba!!! Wish me well -I'm a terrible procrastinator, but I finally booked my airplane ticket to Madrid today.

Now trying to decide whether to just continue on to St. Jean that day or stay in Pamplona and go to St. Jean in the morning.
Pack should be pretty light and won't be full. It's a 48 liter.
Packing no fleece jacket, but do have a long sleeve running type shirt and a lightweight rain jacket (I'm warm blooded anyway, and it's got to be pretty darn cold for me to whine). Have an ultra-light sleeping bag, but can't help but think I will get little use from it, but have already spent money on it and don't feel like buying a liner to use instead.
Anyway, decisions, decisions.....
thanks, broHave a great Camino Mark. Enjoy.
The last couple of times I have planned to take the bus from Barajas Terminal 4 it was sold out. No biggie as it just meant to take the bus from Avenida Las Americas or wait for the next one at Barajas. There are many buses and trains leaving daily from Madrid to Pamplona. I would buy in advanced IF (...and only if) the bus company have a cancellation policy that would allow you to get credit and change your ticket if flight delays. Otherwise, a bit of a risk. Buen Camino!Should I make the bus reservations online? Is that recommended, or just wait until I get to the station?

Did the Camino last summer from mid-July to mid August. Not one single rainy day and wore shorts everyday. Sometimes a little cool at night and early in the morning. Lightweight fleece jacket should suffice.Happy to see many people starting their camino in July! Maybe we will meet on the road!!! I arrive at SJPP on the 7/7 in the afternoon, spending the night there and starting my camino on the 8th. I hope it won't begin with rain. I am a bit worried of the weather,since i will pack few things so my backpack to be light,i want to be sure to take the right clothes depending on the weather. Any suggestions???
I am flying from Greece alone and i am excited for the journey and all the people that i will meet!

Still, bring at least a rain jacket and definitely a pack cover.
Typical looking Camino day for me last summer:
