We will be cycling in aug/Sept 2019 using our own bikes, we are planning on using the alsa bus to get us and bikes from santander to Burgos, did you book on the alsa bus in advance or could you book a ticket on the morning of your travel.
Was wondering the same re tyres I will be riding my sonder gravel bike with 700c x 38mm tyres my wife will be riding her boardman hybrid with the same size tyre I'm hoping these will be sufficient for the type of riding we have seen on you tube videos.
We are going to be making our way to Burgos from santander with our bicycles in August next year, hoping to bus from from santander to Burgos with bikes then cycle from Burgos to santiago.
We may end up cycling from santander to Burgos next August, was hoping to bus to Burgos with bikes but it seems a bit of a chance weather we can get on a bus or not. All the best.
Hi jenny thank you for the reply do you know if they would accommodate 2 bicycles, we have sorted a room for the night we arrive, and would also like to book another for a couple of nights when we return and before we board ferry.
Thank you sounds perfect will look it up and hopefully get it pre booked. Another question we are hoping to use a bus with bikes the following day to Burgos where we plan to start /pick up the camino, wondered if you had any experience with the bus system.
