Getting from Pamplona to St Jean Pied de port

Hi! I’m flying into Pamplona to do the Spanish Camino. I believe there is a bus daily at noon to go to St Jean Pied de Port…. But the website is not helpful… you can’t order a bus ticket online… does anyone know where the bus station is and how to navigate? In advance would be best… but need a helpful soul to help assist. Thank you very much in advance…

Am guessing you are walking the Camino Frances? There are so many Camino routes in Spain, that you can't call just one of them the Spanish Camino.

Are you on any of the Camino FB groups or belong to the American Pilgrims? People are always looking to share taxis from Pamplona to SJPDP.
Rome2Rio might be helpful to find the bus company.
Are you using this website too? https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/

Not sure when you’re going, but there is one bus a day departing from Pamplona at 10am.

On the alsa.es website, enter the trip details and date, then click on buscar viajes if the site doesn’t auto translate. I selected a date in late May since buses aren’t running this time of year.

When the result comes up, click on the price that’s in red (22€), then select continuar.

The next screen says you cannot reserve seats on that route. If you don’t want the €1 luggage insurance, toggle that off, and if you don’t want somebody seated beside you, toggle the bloquea el asiento contiguo. Then click continuar.

The next screen asks for passenger information. The default says DNI español, so click on the arrow and select otro documento, and enter your passport number in the número de documento field.

The next set of boxes wants to know where the tickets should be sent.
Enter your name, email address, and Mobil number. Ensure you change the country from Spain to the U.S. (EEUU - Estados Unidos). Then enter your payment method; card or Apple Pay.

Finally, click on the pagar/pay button.

That should do it.

The bus station address is: C. Yanguas y Miranda, 2. The C = Calle/street. The bus station is a 32 minutes bus ride, or 10 minutes car ride from the airport.
