Pamplona Estella Los Arcos Logrono buses and trains

I'll update the buses and trains section when I get back but the big news for today is I'm on the logrono - Estella - puente la Reina - San Sebastian - Irun bus that left logrono at 7.30am and leaves Estella at 8.15am arriving San Sebastian 9.45am.

The train from VITORIA-GASTEIZ to Pamplona is excellent but generally the network won't always work for pilgrims

We used Estella as a base for 2 nights a few years ago and this trip we did it for 4 nights. It worked well especially as the 4pm bus back from the new bus station in Logrono only took 40 mins.

It's a cracking town and just enough variety for pilgrims to be worth a few evenings.

Bus travel was easy and as long as you read the timetable correctly and you know what day it is you'll be fine.

Travelling back to puente la Reina you have the previously mentioned 8.15 express but also the bus that stops at maneru etc.

Our plan had been to walk mont del perdon then bus from puente la Reina but after a good rumble in Pamplona walking up from the train station it was apparently too hot and bloody stupid to head out at 14:00 in blazing sun. We did manage three walks and got the bus mostly or just walked into town or out of town.

The exception was a 45€ taxi to Sansol on the last day when we walked to Logrono.
