Madrid to Valladolid by road
The fastest driving route is 190 km (118 mi) long and takes about 2 hr 30 min without stops or traffic. It runs mostly on the N-601 (76.6 km), the AP-6 (68.4 km), and the A-6 (34.8 km).
It goes through 2 autonomous communities: the Community of Madrid (55.6 km) and Castile and León (135 km). That’s an average of 76 km/h (47 mph). Spain’s traffic authority (DGT) recommends a break every two hours or 200 km: with 1 stop of 20 minutes, the trip takes about 2 hr 50 min. The time is OSRM’s estimate with OpenStreetMap data: no traffic and speeds somewhat below the limits, so real trips can differ.
Straight-line distance and bearing
In a straight line, the shortest distance over the Earth’s surface, Madrid and Valladolid are 162 km (101 mi) apart. That’s the geodesic on the WGS84 ellipsoid, the distance “as the crow flies”.
The road is 17% longer: for every 100 km in a straight line you drive 117. That’s a normal detour between two cities. Of the 40 Spanish pairs in this series, it ranks 29th for detour (the average is 24%).
From Madrid, Valladolid lies to the northwest (bearing 328°), and from Valladolid, Madrid lies to the southeast.
