English Garabandal centre
Guesthouses and the church.
San Sebastián de Garabandal is a mountain village in Rionansa, about 80 km from SDR and around 1 h 15 min away. Pilgrims come from all over the world; Zonetransfers drives you from arrivals straight to your lodging in the village, at a fixed price for the car.
Revised:
About 1 h 15 min for some 80 km: motorway west, then a winding valley road for the last stretch.
The final kilometres are narrow and climb steadily.
In winter we check conditions before setting off.
The village is small and lodging is limited, so book your stay before the transfer.

The site visitors walk up to above the village.
Santander airport transfer to Garabandal: west along the coast then up the Nansa valley.
