Torrevieja Airport Bus

Alicante Airport to Torrevieja by Bus

Currently (2008) there is no direct public bus running from the airport in Alicante to Torrevieja. Unfortunately, this means you will have to go from the Alicante airport first to downtown Alicante (using the C6 Busline), where the central bus station is located. There you can catch a bus directly to Torrevieja and its surrounding villages.

From my personal experience, I can not recommend this to any visitor. (a little personal story on the downtown bus to alicante can be seen here). The "bus-hopping" trip will take you on average between 2 to 3 hours (waiting times included), which is a lot for a 50 km distance.

Especially when you travel with children, I would advise to hire a car, take a taxi or arrange transport with one of the private airport transfer companies.

Murcia Airport Bus to Torrevieja

The current bus connections between Murcia's San Javier Airport and Torrevieja are no better. Here a choice is to take the latbus airport bus from the Murcia Airport to the downtown Murcia bus station Unfortunately this bus runs currently (2008) only 3 times during the evenning hours. From Murcia's central bus station you can take another bus to Torrevieja. A lots of back and forth for a rather short straight distance.

Again, whatever you choose to do, for the around 35km distance between Torrevieja and Murcia San Javier Airport, I would not advice to take a trip to Murcia downtown and back to Torrevieja (probl. a total of trip of 100km).

Any alternative transport method, like car rental, a taxi or a private bus shuttle is certainly the better choice.

We are still hoping that the authorities will one day understand the need for simple, reliable and frequent bus services from Alicante and Murcia airport to Torrevieja.
