Bus Pamplona – Tafalla – Olite

Olite lies south of Pamplona and you can reach it without a car by Navarre's intercity bus, the NBus network. The connection is the Pamplona – Tafalla – Olite trunk line, numbered 320, 321 and 322, operated by Inter-Arriaga (Grupo Interbus). The one linking Olite directly with Pamplona is the 321, by motorway: it leaves from Pamplona bus station and reaches Olite in a little under an hour, via Tafalla.

Stops

In Pamplona the bus leaves from the bus station, on Calle Yanguas y Miranda, and also stops on Avenida de Pío XII, by the hospitals, on Avenida de Zaragoza and on Calle Sadar. In Tafalla it stops at the bus interchange on Calle Pesquera and on Calle Recoletas. In Olite it has three stops: Calle Alcalde Maillata, at numbers 24 and 21, and Rúa Romana, next to number 8. From any of them you are a few minutes' walk from Plaza de Carlos III and the Royal Palace.

How to plan the visit

On weekdays, the 8:20 gets you to Olite at 9:09, before the Royal Palace opens, and you can return on the 15:35 or one of the evening ones. Saturday follows a similar pattern: out at 8:20 or 10:00 and back at 18:28 or 20:10. Sunday is the tightest day: the first bus reaches Olite at 14:06 and the last one back leaves at 18:25, so it allows for the palace and little else. If you want more time, sleep in Olite: the Parador or the Hotel Merindad de Olite are in the old town. On arrival, call at the tourist office, on Plaza de los Teobaldos, for the map and the times of the guided tour of Olite.
