Don't take the train! Don't take the train! Take the bus.I'm only saying this because my friend and I took the train to Burgos and it took more than four hours!
this was despite the fact that a nice young woman helping us to purchase the tickets told us that it was faster than the bus. Yeah, right.
Also, we were exhausted and listened to some bad advice – – and ended up getting off the bus at the wrong terminal at one point, wondering around the Subway in Madrid . We just kind of made every mistake! I will say, it's pretty cool that when despite making every mistake, you still reach your destination!
The conductor on the train was really a grouchy guy, but fortunately was keeping an eye out for us. My friend was watching her GPS, and didn't think that we were at Burgos yet. He came into our car and exclaimed that we were missing our stop, and pulled the emergency stop signal! Man.
So, I suggest that you take the bus!
