Buses along Camino

[jahoran]

Are there regular buses along the camino between the little towns eg into Burgos? Do these run all day?

Best to remember that the Camino Frances is vast, so there is no single bus company that runs the entire distance to ferry pilgrims from Point A to Point B. Spain has a multitude of private bus companies that serve rural areas as well as public buses in the cities. Many of these can be very helpful for pilgrims who need to skip ahead on our itineraries. The easiest way to get a bus is to ask the hospitalero at the local albergue who likely uses the bus and has often answered this question for pilgrims.

If that seems too risky, if you know the town where you're starting and it's large enough, you can sometimes figure it out if you can find a website for the bus station along with a listing of the bus companies that serve that station. The largest bus company in Spain is Alsa at www.alsa.es, but this is primarily for large city to large city travel. Hope this helps.
