Transportantion from Bibao Airport to Puente La Reina

[kengalway]

I will be travelling in a party of four this September to start our 2nd leg of the Camino. We will fly into Bilbao airport and need to get to Puente La Reina. We would prefer not to rent a car. Taxi is an option, but we don't know cost inolved. Does anyone the various travel options ?

The easiest way is Alsa coach from Bilbao to Logrono and then a local bus to Puente. Bilbao to Logrono is 2 hours and €13 for a single ticket.

Alsa do not appear to run a coach from Bilbao to Pamplona which would be ideal, but someone will. Time and distance should be roughly the same.

I can confirm that there are several buses a day from Bilbao bus station to Pamplona. I went that way once muself. I think the bus company is called La Unión (Autobuses La Uni) although I can't get any satisfaction from their dodgy website. From Pamplona there are hourly buses to Puente (I think it's the Estella bus).

Why are you starting in Puente? I think the walk from Pamplona to Puente is one of the most beautiful of the whole Camino.
