Nowadays the only way to arrive to Somosierra is with the following bus lines:
191B: Buitrago - Somosierra
Formerly, the train line Madrid - Burgos passed through the village (it also had a train station called Robregordo-Somosierra, although it didn’t give service to Somosierra), but since 2011 the trains are no longer passing due to a landslide in the Somosierra tunnel.
