Bus from Madrid to Roncesvalles

[Tony Schuster]

Leroy, if you are arriving in the morning you should consider taking the
metro to the bus station. Traffic is tight in the morning and the metro is
fast and efficient.  It is a long walk from the international section of the
airport to the metro station but not beyond the reach of prospective
peregrinos.(probably less than a kilometer but all inside) The information
desks will help you and they do speak English.

My wife and I used the Metro last year to get to the train station on the
advice of some Spaninsh friends. We do not speak the language and had no
problem finding it. We got a map at the metro station at the airport. The
agent also identified the transfers we needed but we could have found it on
the map. It was just nice to be reassured. though.

I don't know where the bus station is but you should be able to find it on
the web. I would expect but do not know for a fact that it would be served
by the Metro.

Good luck and bon camino!

Tony
