Best way to go to Burgos from Barcelona

[Dodog]

Hello, what is the best way to go to Burgos from Barcelona. I am starting my Camino on June 1, the only train avalaible is leaving at 20h20 and arriving at Burgos at 2h15 AM. Maybe i am to early to book the train?

There are buses at 0900 and 1930 daily.

Train is best. Perhaps AVE to Madrid from Barcelona and Alvia to Burgos from Madrid.

You are too early. Try 30 days in advance.

You decide what is best for you. I have taken both train and bus. Both are good options.
The bus station in Burgos is right in the city but the train station is a little bit more far away (but a walking distance for a pilgrim LOL).
Buen camino

The train station, Rosa de Lima, Burgos is 7 kms from the city centre.

Is there some buses to take us in the city center?

Sure, you can take a bus or taxi from the train station to the city (or walk).
The bus station is in the city.
Buen camino.

Falcon, once again I bow to your superior knowledge. Sorry for the mis-information, but the taxi that I was in clocked 7 kms to a place near the cathedral.
I remember because at the time Google maps were still showing the railway station in the city and when I got off the train a long way from the station, I asked the driver in my limited Spanish and he showed me the dashboard reading at the station and when we got to the City centre.

The Renfe train schedule for April shows departures from Barcelona Sants at 9.30, 12.10, 14.10 and 20.10. Sants is a short train journey from Barcelona Airport. All seem to be direct routes (i.e. no transfers) to Burgos.

You should check again in early May for your exact dates, but this should hopefully help with your planning.

Buen Camino!

Yes, you are too early to book your train. In fact, it's even early to look for the schedule because all the trains that will be available on your travel date aren't shown yet on the schedule. Today, in addition to the 20:20 train you quote, the schedule for June 1st shows too the Alvia departing at 12:10 and in some days (only RENFE knows how many days) should show the rest of the trains available. I would suggest to take a look at the web of RENFE in mid-April.

For train schedules, ticket purchase and info, take a look at the web of RENFE:

The bus route from Barcelona to Burgos is made by Alsa so take a look at their web to look for info about prices, schedules and ticket purchase:

This may sound crazy, but there is also an Iberia flight, once a day, several days a week. We took it last year at the end of our walk from Burgos to Barcelona. We paid around $75US, plus a short taxi to the Burgos airport. It was a quick trip and a nice treat to ourselves.

...but, right now, the web of Iberia doesn't offer a flight on the OP travel date.
