[Gocamino] In and Out of Bilbao

[Kathy Gower]

Jeff,

I haven't been in Bilbao for a couple of years (the museum is a must-see), 
but the airport is far from the train station...

What is near the train station is an alberque and an office where your 
credential can be stamped (near the Cathedral).  I don't know if they 
actually issue credentials there, but they did have a lovely photo display 
of the Camino.

I stayed at El Ducque, which is near the museum....and a hike from the 
trains...perhaps a good google search or another goCaminoite might have 
better info, but know the airport is a distance....
The view in of those great Basque houses (white with red tiles) is pretty 
special...and you get to see what you'll be climbing.

Dear Friends,
I am planning to pick-up the Camino in Pamplona this June. I am flying into 
Bilbao from Heathrow late in the evening and I want to catch a bus (or 
train) to Pamplona the next morning so that I don't lose any time. I have 
never been to Bilbao and I don't know how far the airport is out of town and 
I would like to book a room near the bus station or train station for my one 
night there.
Does anyone have experience with doing this?

Sincerely,
Jeff
