How to get from Bilbao Airport to Pamplona for San Fermín

The San Fermín Festival — locally known as Sanfermines — is one of the most internationally famous events in Spain. Declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest, it attracts more than one million visitors from around the world every year between 6 and 14 July. The legendary encierros (running of the bulls), where bulls charge through the streets of the Old Town each morning at 8:00 AM, are broadcast live to dozens of countries.

If you are flying into Bilbao Airport (BIO), the most convenient way to reach Pamplona is by private taxi. The airport is located in Loiu, about 12 km from Bilbao city centre, and approximately 160 km from Pamplona. The route via the AP-68 and AP-15 motorways is fast and straightforward.

There is no direct bus or train connection between Bilbao Airport and Pamplona. The public transport alternative requires travelling first to Bilbao city centre (metro or taxi), then taking a long-distance coach to Pamplona — a total journey of more than 3 hours including waiting times. With a private taxi, the journey is door-to-door in approximately 2 hours, with no connections or transfers.

Groups and families: the taxi is the most cost-effective option

The taxi price from Bilbao to Pamplona is per vehicle, not per person. If you are travelling as a group of 3 or 4, the cost per person drops to €40–55, which is very competitive compared to renting a car (plus fuel, motorway tolls, and the virtually non-existent parking in Pamplona during the festival) or taking a long-distance coach.

For groups larger than 4 people, we can coordinate two vehicles departing at the same time to ensure the whole group arrives together. Contact us via WhatsApp at +34 632 20 45 03 to organise a group booking.

Return trip: Pamplona back to Bilbao Airport

We cover the return journey at the same price and under the same conditions. We can collect you from your hotel in Pamplona, the Old Town or any point you need, and take you directly to Bilbao Airport for your return flight. We particularly recommend booking the return in advance if your flight departs on 14 or 15 July — the closing days of the festival generate extremely high demand.

Our service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If your flight arrives late at night, the driver will be waiting for you at the arrivals terminal with a name board. No night surcharge, no charge for delayed flights.
