I would probably fly direct from Manchester to Madrid then take a train or ALSA coach to Logrono. Flights from Manchester with Ryanair or British Airways/Iberia. If you do not want to stopover in Madrid then there are direct buses right from the airport itself.

Fly Madrid ex Liverpool or Manchester and take the train each way, book well in advance. Inexpensive.

I’ve done that multiple times.

For me Edinburgh to Santander then bus to Logroño is easiest, I did it last year to do the Hospitalero course. Burgos is also a traffic hub so although I have not done it you can get a bus from Burgos back to Santander.

Logroño to Burgos is a five day walk.

If, for example, you left Manchester on Tuesday 8 October (usually the cheapest day to fly) you could take the 10:10 Ryanair flight, arriving Madrid at 13:45.

There is an ALSA coach direct from Terminal 4 at Madrid (there is a free shuttle bus connecting all four terminals) departing 15:15, arriving Logroño at 19:00

If you set off the following day would reach Burgos on Sunday 13 October. There is a frequent ALSA coach service from Burgos bus station (just south of the river) direct to Madrid airport. However, there do not appear to be any afternoon flights from Madrid to Manchester, so you have the choice of either taking an overnight bus from Burgos (the 3:45 a.m. or 4:15 a.m.) in the early hours of Monday 14 October, or taking a later bus on the Sunday or Monday and staying overnight near Madrid airport. I can recommend the Hostal Viky if you choose that option.

Just to confirm, there are no flights, direct or indirect, from Logroño or Burgos to the UK in October.

To answer your specific question, there is a direct flight to Logrono from Madrid. The Logrono airport is some distance out so a taxi is likely. AFAIR from doing this route, there was a long stopover at Madrid which sort of defeated the purpose of ease of travel. As suggested above, train or bus will be cheaper / less time unless you have a specific reason to fly

For the return route, you'd have to get the bus to Bilbao (very easy). At the Bilbao bus station, the coach transfer is there too which means a walk of a few yards. There is an [English speaking] information booth in the upper section of the bus station but much of the information you need is on the electronic displays around the station

Hi Jo,

It's also possible to fly from Manchester to Bilbao (lowcost: Easyjet, Ryanair, Vueling). From Bilbao a bus will take you to Logroño in a little under 2 hours (there's one every hour/hour-and-a-half). There's also a train from Bilbao to Logroño (depending on the day: once or twice a day).

Maybe it's worthwile comparing travelling through Bilbao with travelling through Madrid. Travelling from Madrid to Logroño and from Burgos to Madrid will probably mean more travelling time. I think the cost of flying (lowcost) to Bilbao and Madrid are about the same.

Hope this'll help.
