Arenas de San Pedro to Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas transfer

The journey

The transfer from Arenas de San Pedro (Ávila) to Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas covers around 165.9 kilometres and takes about 108 minutes. We collect you at the address you give us and drop you exactly at your destination, with no changes and no waiting.

Leaving from Valle del Tiétar

The Tiétar valley runs along the southern face of Gredos, from Sotillo de la Adrada through Arenas de San Pedro to Candeleda, with villages among chestnuts, pines and orchards and many Madrid weekend homes. It is a long way from the city of Ávila over the mountains, so many residents live their lives more towards Madrid and Talavera.

Which way it goes

From the Tiétar valley nobody goes up to Ávila to reach Madrid: the valley road continues towards San Martín de Valdeiglesias and enters Madrid from the south-west, or drivers drop down to the A-5 through Toledo province. For Barajas the route crosses Madrid on the M-40 or M-50.

Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas, seen from Ávila

From Ávila province there is no way to reach Barajas without changing in Madrid, and the first trains do not arrive in time for the earliest flights. From the Tiétar valley there is no train at all: a car is the only practical option.

When demand peaks

• Snow on the passes (December to March): Snow and ice affect the Pico pass, the Gredos crossings and the Alto del León, and Ávila, at over a thousand metres, has very cold mornings. In winter, trips across the mountains need more margin.

Tip: If you are going to Ávila's old town, name the gate in the wall nearest your destination: traffic inside is restricted and drop-off happens at the entrance.

Airport pickup

For arrivals, the driver waits in the terminal with a name sign and helps with your luggage. We track the flight number, so a delay costs nothing extra within the terminal’s complimentary waiting time.

For early flights

We recommend leaving Arenas de San Pedro at least 153 minutes before you want to be at the check-in desk. We operate through the night, always with an advance booking.

What the price includes

• Door-to-door pickup and help with luggage.
• Complimentary waiting and flight or train tracking.
• Child restraint systems if you need them.
• The 10 % Spanish VAT on passenger transport.

Tolls and parking, where the route requires them, are itemised in the quote and charged to the customer, with one exception: for airport destinations, if traffic calls for it, the route along the radial toll motorways is included at no cost provided there are at least 3 hours between pickup and the flight's departure. With less margin, that toll is itemised in the quote like any other. There are no hidden charges and no surge pricing.
