Santander to Pamplona by Train

There is no train from Santander to Pamplona.

Renfe.es, Spain's official rail website, is a mess and has been described as "like Alice in Wonderland, where nothing seems to be what it really is" by Trip Advisor, as shown by the fact that this ticket cannot be booked online. For tickets that can be booked online, residents of Canada and USA should bypass Renfe's site and go to Rail Europe instead to have their tickets delivered to their home address.
