The service departed 30mins late. We still arrived on time, but an on time departure could have meant that we arrived at quarter past midnight rather than quarter to one.

Comfortable ride. Attentive driver. Stop in Avila for 5 minutes. According to time schedule.

Efficient, on time, smooth. There was some dispute about the seat - window or aisle - for non Spanish speakers or those not familiar with the v/p perhaps the seating could be made more explicit on the ticket e.g. I window.

James H.

January 20, 2024

I didn't enjoy anything about the journey as I was not able to take the journey. The bus was very difficult to find at the airport and even when I arrived at the bus stops, next to the car hire parking, there was no signage telling which bus was which. I've never experienced such a poorly-designed "bus station".
