What are the origins of Burgos Spain?

burgos spain to altamira by train/ bus?

  • We are in burgos Spain t walking the camino and are trying to get to altamira near santillana del mar to visit the altamira caves. Any spanish mefites who can give us a hand figuring out the best way to and fro? We are staying in burgos and would like to do this as a daytrip. Many thanks!

  • Answer:

    No direct experience here, but it looks like the Alsa buses are your only chance other than renting a car. Non-radial (as in to/ from Madrid) public transport in Spain is always a pain in the neck. Their schedule is not great for a day trip either. http://www.alsa.es/en/ (You want Burgos to Torrelavega) I believe you cannot see the actual caves without booking well in advance (if at all). But there is a museum and a reputedly very well done copy of the caves at the site. Santillana is also great but surely packed with tourists at this time of year. /Buen camino
