Pamplona에서 Sarria까지 Private car transfer

After a visit to the Salt Valley, you can wander the streets of the medieval city of Burgos before making your way to one of the most important Roman archeological sites, the La Olmeda Roman Villa. Then, afterward, you can explore Leon, an ancient city with an impressive Gothic cathedral worth visiting, and Ponferrada, a mighty ancient templar fortress.

These are only a few of the incredible sightseeing opportunities found along the way. You can speak with your English-speaking driver when traveling with Daytrip about the places worth visiting before you get to Sarria. You can even ask what to see and do in Sarria before you get there!

During your town tour, we recommend you stop by the castle, the Convent of Magdalena, and the churches of El Salvador and Santa Marina. You should also visit a few of the city's antique shops, as many objects are worth buying and returning home with you. Besides its architecture, intriguing history, and culture, Sarria has numerous natural spaces worth exploring.

You can explore these areas by enjoying a picnic on the River Sarria's banks or a packed lunch at the recreational area of O Chanto. If you love the outdoors, there are also several game reserves in the region where you can go fishing, swimming, and hiking. And after you finish your explorations of Sarria, you can grab a local meal at one of the town's many impressive restaurants. There are delicious dishes, including octopus pie, Galician stew, and assortments of cold meats for you to try.

If you don’t want to stick out too much while traveling, do as the locals do and sit down at a restaurant or cafe and take your time to properly appreciate the local cuisine. Your Daytrip driver will happily give you some recommendations on what or where to eat.

Keep an eye on your belongings

The trip from Pamplona to Sarria is safe, especially if you travel with a private car service like Daytrip. But if you're taking public transportation, know that pickpockets are rampant in high-traffic areas like train stations and bus terminals.

That’s why if you don’t travel with a door-to-door service, you must keep an eye on your belongings. The last thing you want is for it to be robbed of your precious belongings and ruin your trip.

Tap water is fine

You can drink the water in Spain, but it might taste different from town to town. Think of it as regional varieties, like food or wine. Save money and the environment and fill up a reusable water bottle for your travels.

From Pamplona to Sarria by train

Taking the train is only slightly faster than traveling by bus. Unfortunately, the train journey from Pamplona to Sarria requires a transfer to either Leon or Madrid. This adds to your travel tip, making the trip between 7 and 10 hours. Tickets are also almost double the price of bus tickets.

A standard ticket costs between $50 and $100, with first-class tickets costing even more. However, the trip is more comfortable than the bus, especially if you book with Renfe, which offers comfortable seating and scenic views of Spain.

A private door-to-door transfer with Daytrip is the fastest, most flexible, and convenient way to get from Pamplona to Sarria, and you’re guaranteed a safe and exciting travel experience.

If you travel directly, you will cover the distance of more than 400 miles in under 6 hours, handily beating all other options. You also will have plenty of space for your luggage, and your driver will take care of it so you can focus on the trip ahead.

Daytrip also lets you stop for sightseeing on the way, something you can't do with the bus or train. This will add travel time to your trip, but it's worth it, especially since you can explore places like Leon, the Ponferrada, and Las Medulas.

With Daytrip, you also won't need to navigate foreign roads, as your driver will do it for you, and it's much cheaper than you might expect. On average, Daytrip costs about $200 per seat for this trip, which is well worth it considering all the benefits you have access to.

Church of Santa Mariña

If you plan to wander around the old market square and do some shopping and taste-testing the wares of locals, you might also want to stop at the Church of Santa Marina. This church has had a home in the old market square since 1885. Interestingly, this church occupies the site of an old Romanesque church that dates back to the 13th century. So you’ll get to see not one but two religious sites during your visit.

Casa Baamonde

You might never have the opportunity to lay eyes on King Alfonso IX of León and Galicia. Still, you can see his likeness if you visit the Casa Baamonde, otherwise known as Sarria’s town hall. This town hall has a stone sculpture of King Alfonso IX of León and Galicia on its main facade, and it's quite a sight to behold.

Monastery of Madalena

Have you always wanted to tour a monastery? If so, you’re in luck, as Sarria is home to the Monastery of Madalena. Two Italian friars founded this 12th-century monastery as a refuge for pilgrims and a hospital. Nowadays, it might not be used for this purpose, but the Order of Mercy governs it, and you can visit and explore why it is still such a special place in Sarria.
