Taxi & private hire in Azuqueca de Henares

Azuqueca de Henares and Corredor del Henares

Azuqueca de Henares, Alovera and Villanueva de la Torre are the Guadalajara end of the Henares corridor: large logistics parks alongside the A-2 and new neighbourhoods of people who work in Madrid or Alcalá. Warehouse shifts and early flights mean plenty of trips at odd hours.

From Azuqueca de Henares to Madrid and Barajas

From the corridor you join the A-2 straight away towards Alcalá and Madrid; the airport lies just beyond Torrejón, without needing the M-40. The stretch between Alcalá and Torrejón is the one that jams most early in the morning.

Around the province of Guadalajara

Guadalajara province is very large and almost all its population lives in the south-west, along the A-2. The most common internal trips run from the villages of La Alcarria, the Serranía or the Señorío de Molina to the capital — hospital, station, paperwork — and they are long with very little public transport; within the corridor, by contrast, they are short but often at hours when no bus runs.

Busiest times of year

• Lavender bloom in Brihuega (July): With the lavender in bloom, Brihuega gets visitors all month, with the lavender festival as the busiest day. Sunset visits end late and the tracks between the fields have no public transport.
• Autumn in the Tejera Negra beech forest (October and November): When the beeches change colour, the forest gets most of its yearly visitors in a handful of weekends. Road access may be limited, and it is worth checking conditions before setting off.
• Sigüenza getaway season (spring and autumn): In spring and autumn Sigüenza gets weekend breaks and the tourist train that arrives from Madrid. Arrivals and departures bunch up on Saturdays and Sundays, and connections with the surrounding villages are scarce.
• Guadalajara fair and fiestas (September): The capital's fair in September and the summer fiestas of the corridor towns move many people between towns at night, after public transport has stopped running.
• Holiday departures (Easter, summer, long weekends and Christmas): At the start and end of holidays, transfers to Barajas from the corridor and the capital rise sharply and the A-2 gets busy in both directions. First-thing flights are the first to fill up with bookings.

Tip: From the corridor to Barajas the drive is short, but the A-2 between Alcalá and Torrejón jams at rush hour: for morning flights it is better to leave before it starts.
