It will probably be quicker to walk, and more pleasant via the “river” route. Otherwise you can catch a bus into the centre of Burgos from Villafria and a bus from the bus station out to Villalbilla de Burgos. Rome2rio should sort out service providers and timetables.

We once caught a bus just past the airport in Castañares that took us to the edge of the historical district. It was an easy walk then to the center of Burgos and out the other side. If you haven’t visited Burgos, even if you don’t want to spend the night, I’d highly recommend at least a quick visit to the cathedral. It’s well worth it!

If you download the app Mapy.cz, you’ll see the exact route of the CF in and out of Burgos (it’s the blue line). I’ve found this app particularly useful in navigating in and through cities.

I love Mapy.cz! I use it for all of my travels.

If you have to skip it, so be it, but Burgos is a beautiful city--especially city center with the cathedral, a nice hotel, and other old picturesque buildings. We were lucky enough to be there when a couple of weddings were going on and after the ceremonies, the wedding parties were gathering by the river for their photos.

The river walk is described in the forum's Resources section. Go here and download the PDF. @linkster reposted it but I think it was originally submitted by someone else.

As for the bus, I wrote something here:

The post has a picture so I'm redirecting you rather than resubmitting the picture.

When you walk around the airport, you arrive in a town called Villafria..you take the bus there into Burgos avoiding the long industrial avenue towards Burgos.

You want the Bus route 8, normally every 30mins except Sunday and Friday - goodness knows why but then it is Spain.

Route 8

Ride it all the way to the Gran Teatro it'll save a lot of heart and foot ache

You want the Bus route 8

You can have your coffee or whatever while seated outside the cafeteria. The pole Jeff pointed out is the bus stop. You can see the #8 going down across the street. It will turn around shortly so finish your coffee before you see the bus approach that stop.
