Astorga and Astorga y La Maragatería
Astorga, with its cathedral, Roman walls and Gaudí's episcopal palace, is the gateway to La Maragatería and a key stop on the Camino de Santiago. It sits where the A-6, AP-71 and N-120 meet, halfway between León and El Bierzo.
From Astorga to Madrid and Barajas
Astorga sits on the A-6, so the way to Madrid runs straight south-east through Benavente and Tordesillas, with the Guadarrama at the end. For Barajas the route leaves the A-6 for the M-40 or M-50 at the entrance to Madrid.
Around the province of León
Internal trips in León province are long and often through the mountains: from Villablino to the capital, or from El Bierzo to León, means crossing passes. The most requested trips are from the towns to the León or El Bierzo hospitals, to León station and to Camino de Santiago stages, where public transport does not reach or runs only a few times a day.
Busiest times of year
- Holy Week in León (Easter week): León's Holy Week, of international tourist interest, fills the old town with processions day and night and closes many central streets. It is best to set the pickup outside the procession routes and book holiday departures early.
- San Juan and San Pedro fiestas (late June): León's main fiestas bring a week of concerts and events in late June, with a lot of night-time movement between the city and the surrounding towns after the buses have stopped.
- San Froilán (early October): The San Froilán fiestas, honouring the diocese's patron saint, close León's festive calendar in early October, with traditional parades and many people from across the province in the city.
- The French Way in León (spring to autumn, especially summer): The French Way crosses the province through Sahagún, León, Astorga and Ponferrada, and in season many pilgrims need to reach the start of a stage, skip a section or get home from the station.
- Ponferrada Templar Night (July): The Templar Night fills Ponferrada's old town and the castle area with a parade and events that end late; the centre is closed to traffic and returns to the Bierzo villages bunch up in the early hours.
Tip: If you are walking the Camino de Santiago, give the exact hostel or stage point when booking and say how much luggage you carry, so the pickup can be planned properly.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take me within Astorga?
Not within Astorga itself. Our authorisation covers intercity transport and urban trips there are reserved for taxis. We can take you from Astorga to any other town, to the airport or to Madrid.
Is there Uber, Cabify or Bolt in Astorga?
The big apps do not cover Castilla y León the way they cover Madrid. In Astorga the fixed-price option is to book a private hire car in advance. If a local taxi or an app is confirmed in your town, we publish it with a date.
How much is a private transfer from Astorga to Madrid-Barajas?
The transfer from Astorga to Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport starts at 513,35 € including VAT, on weekdays during the day. The price is fixed when you confirm.
Do you pick up anywhere in Astorga?
Yes. We pick up at any address in Astorga and also in La Bañeza, Val de San Lorenzo, Castrillo de los Polvazares. Just give us the exact door when you book.
Where do people travel to most from Astorga?
The usual destinations from Astorga are Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas (from 513,35 €, 245 min); Madrid centro (from 505,34 €, 244 min); Estación Madrid-Chamartín (from 499,72 €, 242 min). We travel anywhere in Spain, always pre-booked.
What is the difference between a private hire car and a taxi?
A Spanish private hire vehicle may only carry out pre-booked services: it cannot pick up passengers in the street or wait at ranks. That is why everything goes through advance booking, with the price fixed before the trip and the service paperwork issued beforehand.
Is there Uber, Cabify or Bolt in Castilla y León?
The big apps do not cover Castilla y León the way they cover Madrid or Barcelona. In most towns in Ávila, Burgos, León, Palencia, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Valladolid and Zamora there is no Uber, Cabify or Bolt with the same coverage. That is why we publish, town by town and with a date, what is actually there, and offer pre-booked private hire at a fixed price as an alternative.
Can you take me within my own town?
It depends on the town. A Spanish private hire authorisation covers intercity transport, while urban trips — those starting and ending in the same town — are reserved for taxis unless a licence covers them. Where we can do it, the booking form prices it like any other trip; where we cannot, we tell you straight away and why, before you fill in any details.
How far in advance should I book?
The earlier the better, especially for early flights. For airport transfers we recommend booking the day before; same-day requests depend on availability and always require advance booking.
Do you know the local transport by-law in Astorga?
What can be provided inside a town depends on its by-law and on regional rules, and that is not collected anywhere. If you know where Astorga's is published, whether there is a taxi service or what is allowed, tell us: we check it against the official gazette and adjust the service if appropriate.
