So out of necessity I ended up choosing a 9:24 am train to St. Jean-Pied-de-Port. (I haven't fully abandoned this project.) Actually it wasn't just one train, it was 3. Another minor annoyance that they require that many trains to go about 151 km. I had wanted a later train but then I would have arrived late for the dinner they serve at the gite. It's 20 euros for the night and both breakfast and dinner.
Today after getting here, it was also necessary to buy a small sleeping bag since nothing of the sort is provided in most of the gites in Spain. There is also a way to send my sack all the way to Santiago from here for a cheap enough price which I will arrange tomorrow so I can have the time to plan out the trip and to prepare my packs accordingly. At the moment the latter is almost sorted but the other is up in the air. Maybe I will tell them that I will be done in 20 to 25 days with the aid of a couple trains or shuttles here and there.
