Bus service is comfortable and reliable throughout Spain. Prices are roughly $6 per 60 miles (100 kilometers). More than one company's bus may be going to the same destination but by a different route. Check out the departure point for the bus you want when you arrive in town so that there are no surprises and delays when you want to leave town. Check the timetable care fully to be sure that the bus you want runs that day, for example, Saturday and don't plan to travel on Sundays or holidays. Pay as you board for short trips or buy tickets in stations for longer trips. There are no reservations therefore arrive early.


 For city buses and airport transportation go to TERC Guide to European Countries and check out the transportation for specific city or town you plan to visit.
