==Transportation== {{unreferenced section|date=November 2021}} ===Burgos Airport=== [[Burgos Airport]] is located only {{convert|5|km|2|abbr=on}} from the city centre, with daily flights to [[Barcelona]] International Airport, and during spring and summer to [[Palma de Mallorca]] and [[Paris Orly]]. [[File:Burgos Rosa de Lima train station.jpg|thumb|Burgos Rosa de Lima train station]] ===Railway=== [[File:HighSpeedSpain.svg|thumb|Map of the Spanish high-speed railway network]] The city is considered a first-class rail route through which one rail lines circulate, operated by [[Renfe Operadora|Renfe]]: [[Madrid–Hendaye railway]]. The faster trains use the AVE line between Madrid and Valladolid. 2010 marked 150 years since the arrival of the first railway to the city; the first train was present on 25 October 1860. Madrid was joined with the French border and this was considered the main route of railway communication between Spain and Europe. Located at the halfway point, Burgos soon become an important hub of communications between the centre and the north. Since December 2007, the city has been connected to the main provincial capitals by high-speed service [[Alvia]]. It also provides other services, middle and long distance, which connect with the main population centres of the country. 18 long distance trains and 12 middle distance trains circulate through the station each day, which results in around 330,000 yearly users. The new railway station was opened on 12 December 2008 under the name [[Burgos-Rosa de Lima railway station|Burgos-Rosa de Lima]], belonging to ADIF. It is located in the neighbourhood of Villímar, northeast of the city, and was adapted for the arrival of [[AVE]]. Bus 25 takes travellers direct to the city centre. In July 2022, [[AVE]] high speed trains started serving the city, connecting it to cities such as [[Madrid]] in 1 hour and 33 minutes with a stop in [[Valladolid]],<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.elindependiente.com/economia/transporte/2022/06/30/el-trayecto-en-ave-madrid-burgos-se-reducira-a-1-hora-y-33-minutos/ |title=El trayecto en AVE Madrid-Burgos se reducirá a 1 hora y 33 minutos |date=30 June 2022 |access-date=1 November 2022 |newspaper=El Independiente |language=es}}</ref> or [[Bilbao]] in 70 minutes.

It would consist of a line of about {{convert|12|km|0|abbr=on}} long and will originate from the Burgos-Rosa de Lima railway station and end at the [[University of Burgos]]. Its cost is estimated between 80 and 120 million euros. Due to the economic crisis and real estate, the project has been postponed temporarily until further funding becomes available. In February 2010 work began on the development of the Boulevard, which reserves a lane for public transport: first buses, and eventually the tram. ===Bus=== Burgos has an international bus station located in the city centre, just one hundred meters from the [[Cathedral of Burgos|Cathedral]].
