Pamplona bus to Ronscavalles??

[Joseph Kohut]

Hola!

Your reply re. the bus from Pamplona to Roncesvalles was very helpful to me.
Perhaps you would care to elaborate re. the taxi.

Did you take the taxi to St. Jean the same day you arrived in Roncesvalles?
Or, did you stay in Roncesvalles overnight, and take the taxi early next
morning?  Which would you recommend?

Gracias
Joe
