Taxi transport from Burgos with bicycle.

[Sukydee]

Hi Everyone,
A group of 6 Camino pilgrims with 6 rucksacks and 1 bicycle need transport from Burgos to Torres del Rio, Navarre (158Km) on 15th May. We have been quoted 270 Euros. Does that sound like a fair price? Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks Sue

Allowing for tolls on the AP-1, return trip costs etc against the standart €1/Km - seems like a bargain.

How are you all going to fit on one bicycle?

Seems fair to me. I've heard of a quint but never a tandem for 6.

Thanks both. One of our group can walk uphill, albeit slowly, but due to back problems he cannot walk downhill. So he cycles where he can and we push the bike where it is too steep for him. We became known as the "Stafford Six" on our first leg of the Camino last June.

Good luck to all the 'Stafford 6' on the next leg

Gee I could have used you all back in 2015!! The Camino between Torres del Rio to Burgos is reasonably "bike friendly" until you reach Villafranca Montes De Oca. From here (imho) the trail is not at all "bike friendly" and it might be more effective (given your friends problems) to put the cyclist and his bike on a bus to Burgos. Buen Camino!! Cheers
