Valencia to Burgos Route Overview

The Valencia to Burgos route links the Mediterranean coast with northern Castile, usually combining high-speed sections around Valencia and Madrid with standard-gauge or gauge-changing long-distance operation farther north. Direct Alvia trains use variable-gauge trainsets designed for routes that move between high-speed and conventional Spanish lines. Seat reservation is included on Renfe long-distance trains, so passengers travel on the specific train and seat printed on the ticket rather than using open boarding. A distinctive part of this trip is the change in landscape: irrigated coastal plains near Valencia give way to the Meseta and the limestone country around Burgos.
