English Santo Domingo de la Calzada
Rejoin the Camino at an earlier stage or visit the cathedral. Burgos to Santo Domingo
Whether you are walking the Camino, touring Rioja and Ribera del Duero wine country or heading on to Bilbao or Madrid, Zonetransfers picks you up at your hotel, apartment, pilgrim hostel or Rosa de Lima station in Burgos and drives you door to door. You see one fixed price for the whole vehicle before paying, whether one person travels or a family of four.
Burgos sits where the A-1, AP-1 and A-62 motorways meet, so most of northern Spain is within a three-hour drive. The table lists every route with its own page, closest first, timed from the city centre without stops.

Burgos is one of the big milestones on the Camino Francés, and plenty of walkers start here, jump across the Meseta or finish here and need a ride onward. The driver collects you from the municipal albergue, a private hostel or your hotel, and backpacks, walking poles and bikes travel at no extra cost when declared.

Skip the flat stretch through Castrojeriz and Sahagún. Burgos to León
Five to eight pilgrims fit in one minivan with their packs, which brings the cost per person well down. Tell us the hostel and the number of walkers when you book.
Any address in the city works. These are the spots travellers ask for most often:
Streets around the cathedral are pedestrianised, so we meet at the Arco de Santa María or Plaza del Rey San Fernando.
On the northern edge of town in Villimar; your driver waits inside the hall holding a name sign.
Main entrance or whichever door you specify.
Flats, student halls and the University of Burgos.
Your driver waiting in Burgos, ready for León, Bilbao or wine country.
Two of Spain’s best-known wine regions are less than an hour away. Haro, the heart of Rioja Alta, is about 1 hour by the AP-1; Aranda de Duero, capital of the Ribera, about 55 minutes down the A-1, with Lerma on the way.
Rioja Alta wine town; historic bodegas line its Station Quarter.
Wine capital of the Ribera, with medieval cellars dug beneath the old town.
Ducal town with an arcaded main square and a palace that is now a Parador.
Station drop-off a short walk from the centre and the tapas bars of Calle Laurel.
Book a car with driver by the hour in Burgos so nobody in the group has to drive after the tastings.
Bilbao is about 160 km from Burgos via the AP-1 and AP-68, roughly 1 h 40 min. Vitoria-Gasteiz is around 120 km on the AP-1, 1 h 15 min, and Santander some 160 km over the Escudo pass on the N-623, about 2 hours.

El Sardinero beaches, Valdecilla hospital and the ferry to Portsmouth and Plymouth.
Rail junction and gateway to Álava and Rioja Alta.
Old-town walls, Plaza del Castillo and the University of Navarra clinic.
From December to February the Escudo pass and the Pancorbo gorge can see ice or snow. Vehicles are prepared for it, and your driver will let you know if leaving earlier is wise.
Madrid is about 240 km south on the A-1, roughly 2 h 30 min. Valladolid and Palencia lie just over an hour west on the A-62, and Soria is around 1 h 45 min east on the N-234.

Burgos has no scheduled flights, so most visitors land at Madrid-Barajas or Bilbao. If you want to be met at the terminal by a driver who watches your flight status, book the airport transfer instead: it is a separate service with waiting time included.
Coming to Burgos rather than leaving it? Each of these reverse journeys has a dedicated page: the driver starts in that city and finishes at your Burgos address.
Four times of year when booking early or leaving with a margin pays off.
| When | What happens | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Late June | San Pedro y San Pablo festival | Centre road closures and full hotels |
| Holy Week | Processions and Easter pilgrims | Slow traffic in the old town |
| April–October | Peak Camino season | Hostels full; book rides early |
| December–February | Snow and fog | Extra time over Pancorbo and the A-1 plateau |
The whole vehicle is yours and its cost is shown up front.

Roughly 160 km via the AP-1 to Miranda de Ebro and then the AP-68, about 1 h 40 min without stops. Your driver collects you anywhere in Burgos and drops you at your Bilbao hotel, office or home, at Abando station or at the Santurtzi ferry terminal. The price is per vehicle and fixed when you book.
Yes. It is about 240 km on the A-1, around 2 h 30 min, with a rest stop on request. The driver drops you at your hotel, an office, IFEMA, Atocha or Chamartín. One fixed price covers the whole car, so for a family or a small group of colleagues it often works out cheaper per head than you might expect.
Yes. We collect from the municipal albergue, private hostels and hotels, and backpacks and walking poles travel free. Popular rides are back to Santo Domingo de la Calzada, across the Meseta to León, or home via Madrid or Bilbao. Groups of five to eight walkers share one minivan, which lowers the cost each.
Haro, in Rioja Alta, is about 90 km and one hour away via the AP-1 and N-124. Santo Domingo de la Calzada takes around 50 minutes and Logroño station roughly 1 h 20 min. If you plan to visit several wineries in one day, an hourly car with driver means no one in the group has to drive.
Up to four people ride in a standard car and up to eight, with bags, in a minivan; both show an instant price online. Parties of 9 to 54, like a parish pilgrimage, a sports team or wedding guests, receive a tailored minibus or coach quote. Since the charge is per vehicle, bigger groups pay less each.
Yes, just tick the option when booking and give each child’s age or weight so the right seat is fitted before pick-up. We recommend one for children under 12 or shorter than 1.35 m, and a small supplement may apply. Pushchairs, travel cots and folding high chairs simply count as luggage.
Cancellation is free up to 48 hours before pick-up for a standard car or minivan, and more than 96 hours before for minibuses and group vehicles. To change the date, time or address you do not need to cancel: send us a WhatsApp message or an email and we will update the booking, subject to availability.
Online, by card, when you confirm the booking, through a secure payment page; drivers do not take payment. What you agree to at checkout is what you pay for that car and journey, whatever the traffic on the A-1 or AP-1. Business travellers can add company details at checkout to receive an invoice in the company name.
