Ciudad Rodrigo and Campo de Ciudad Rodrigo
Ciudad Rodrigo, a walled town in the west of the province, is the last main town before the Portuguese border and the centre of a very large cattle-farming area. For the main hospital, specialist care and the train, people go to Salamanca.
From Ciudad Rodrigo to Madrid and Barajas
From Ciudad Rodrigo the route is the A-62 to Salamanca, then on to Madrid by the A-50, AP-51 and AP-6. It is one of the parts of the province furthest from Barajas, so early flights mean leaving in the middle of the night.
Around the province of Salamanca
Salamanca is a large province with its population concentrated in the capital, and the roads fan out from it: the A-62 to Ciudad Rodrigo, the A-66 to Guijuelo and Béjar, the A-50 to Peñaranda. There is hardly any direct transport between the market towns, so the most common internal trips are from the villages into Salamanca: hospital, station, university and errands.
Busiest times of year
- Start and end of the academic year (September and June): At the start and end of the academic year thousands of students arrive and leave, many from abroad, with luggage and flights from Barajas. In those weeks it is best to book the airport transfer well ahead.
- Salamanca's September fair (September): The Virgen de la Vega festivities fill Salamanca in early September, with concerts, bullfights and a busy nightlife. The centre has road closures and late-night returns to the villages are the most sought after.
- Holy Week in Salamanca (Easter week): The processions wind through the old town and coincide with many visitors and with holiday departures towards Barajas. Streets close as the brotherhoods pass, and the pickup point should be outside the route.
- Carnaval del Toro (February or March, at Carnival): Ciudad Rodrigo holds its bull runs and street bullfights in the main square during Carnival, and the town fills with visitors for several days. It is one of the few times the west of the province draws more people in than it sends out.
- Ski season (winter, depending on snow): When La Covatilla opens, skiers from Salamanca, Madrid and Extremadura head up to Béjar at weekends. The access road may require chains, so it is worth checking the resort's status before setting off.
Tip: To go up to La Covatilla in winter, mention if you are carrying skis or a board, and check the resort is open before booking.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take me within Ciudad Rodrigo?
Not within Ciudad Rodrigo itself. Our authorisation covers intercity transport and urban trips there are reserved for taxis. We can take you from Ciudad Rodrigo to any other town, to the airport or to Madrid.
Is there Uber, Cabify or Bolt in Ciudad Rodrigo?
The big apps do not cover Castilla y León the way they cover Madrid. In Ciudad Rodrigo the fixed-price option is to book a private hire car in advance. If a local taxi or an app is confirmed in your town, we publish it with a date.
How much is a private transfer from Ciudad Rodrigo to Madrid-Barajas?
The transfer from Ciudad Rodrigo to Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport starts at 429,41 € including VAT, on weekdays during the day. The price is fixed when you confirm.
Do you pick up anywhere in Ciudad Rodrigo?
Yes. We pick up at any address in Ciudad Rodrigo and also in Fuentes de Oñoro, La Fuente de San Esteban, Lumbrales. Just give us the exact door when you book.
Where do people travel to most from Ciudad Rodrigo?
The usual destinations from Ciudad Rodrigo are Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas (from 429,41 €, 204 min); Madrid centro (from 405,26 €, 195 min); Estación Madrid-Chamartín (from 407,26 €, 196 min). We travel anywhere in Spain, always pre-booked.
What is the difference between a private hire car and a taxi?
A Spanish private hire vehicle may only carry out pre-booked services: it cannot pick up passengers in the street or wait at ranks. That is why everything goes through advance booking, with the price fixed before the trip and the service paperwork issued beforehand.
Is there Uber, Cabify or Bolt in Castilla y León?
The big apps do not cover Castilla y León the way they cover Madrid or Barcelona. In most towns in Ávila, Burgos, León, Palencia, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Valladolid and Zamora there is no Uber, Cabify or Bolt with the same coverage. That is why we publish, town by town and with a date, what is actually there, and offer pre-booked private hire at a fixed price as an alternative.
Can you take me within my own town?
It depends on the town. A Spanish private hire authorisation covers intercity transport, while urban trips — those starting and ending in the same town — are reserved for taxis unless a licence covers them. Where we can do it, the booking form prices it like any other trip; where we cannot, we tell you straight away and why, before you fill in any details.
How far in advance should I book?
The earlier the better, especially for early flights. For airport transfers we recommend booking the day before; same-day requests depend on availability and always require advance booking.
Do you know the local transport by-law in Ciudad Rodrigo?
What can be provided inside a town depends on its by-law and on regional rules, and that is not collected anywhere. If you know where Ciudad Rodrigo's is published, whether there is a taxi service or what is allowed, tell us: we check it against the official gazette and adjust the service if appropriate.
