Transfer to Madrid's Estación Sur bus station from Segovia

Madrid South bus station from Segovia

Guiomar is outside the city and high-speed trains do not wait. From the mountains, the pine woods or the north-east, it is best to leave with a margin and allow for fog and ice on winter mornings.

How to get there from each area

Segovia y su entorno

From the city, Madrid is reached on the AP-61 toll road to San Rafael, where it joins the AP-6 and the Guadarrama tunnel, then the A-6 into Madrid at Moncloa or the M-40. For Barajas the route continues on the M-40 or M-50 without going into the centre; the alternative, the high-speed train from Guiomar to Chamartín, still leaves a connection to the airport.

Sierra de Guadarrama segoviana

El Espinar and San Rafael have the AP-6 on their doorstep: the mountains are crossed through the Guadarrama tunnel or, toll-free, over the Alto del León pass, before descending on the A-6. From La Granja the way to Madrid is via Segovia and the AP-61, or over the Navacerrada pass, shorter but a mountain road with snow in winter.

Tierra de Pinares

From Cuéllar the road runs down to Segovia on the A-601 and then to Madrid on the AP-61 and AP-6. For Barajas the route then crosses northern Madrid on the M-40 or M-50.

Nordeste de Segovia

From the north-east the natural route skips Segovia: Riaza takes the N-110 to the A-1, and Sepúlveda and Cantalejo also join the A-1, which crosses the mountains over the Somosierra pass and enters Madrid from the north, close to Barajas.
