Hi I would like to find out how to get from Seville to Acros de la frontera. I could not find a bus schedule on a previously suggested website http://samar.es . Are there buses that go there directly or is there a way to take the train there?
Does anyone know of any good website to search for trains and/ or buses?
Hungbonnie,
I've not traveled to Arcos de la Frontera but have visited Sevilla.
You can search for train schedules on Spain's official railway company :http://www.renfe.com/EN/viajeros/
According to Rome2rio, there's no direct train from Sevilla to Arcos de la Frontera. You'd have to take a train from Sevilla to Jerez de la frontera, then a bus to Arcos.
There's also a direct bus from Sevilla to Arcos but it only runs twice a day (11:45 & 18:00)
You can check the Los Amarillos bus schedules here: https://regular.autobusing.com/venta
You can only view schedules a day or two from today's date.
Since you'll be in Sevilla, have you considered visiting Córdoba? You can reach Córdoba very easily via high speed train.
Have a wonderful trip!
Edit to add: I forgot to mention...
You can book your train tickets 60- 90 days in advance at considerable savings.
You may want to read this article before booking your train tickets on the Renfe website.
Are you planning to stay overnight there? If so, then take the bus from Sevilla. If you want to day trip, your options are train to Jerez and then bus to Arcos or rent a car or hire a driver. The only good news is that in Jerez the bus and train stations are adjacent.
If I take the direct bus at 1145 Seville to Acros de la frontera. Would that give me enough time to see the town and come back to Seville at night?
Thanks for your help
The link Priscilla gave doesn't work. Their website is difficult but I did finally see what may be the schedule, from Sevilla Prado S.S. (maybe that's the bus station?) to Arcos with the times she listed. The buses from Arcos leave at 7 am and 4 pm. The ride is 2 hours. The bus stops at the bottom of the town, you then need to hike up or take a minibus and get back down in time for the bus back. So that leaves you less than 2 hours to visit. In my book, that is not enough time.
The better way for a day trip is to take the train to Jerez. It takes about an hour; there are several trains in the morning and trains back to Sevilla every hour until 9.15 p.m. According to the Samar bus website (wow, is it difficult), there's a bus from Jerez to Arcos at 8.00 am, 9.00 am and then not until 12.00. There are a number of buses in the afternoon, the last one that would get you back in time for the return train to Sevilla leaves at 7.45 pm. The bus takes about 45 minutes each way.
Wow thanks for looking into it. I wouldn't never figured that one out.. I just thought the website didn't work for me.
Yes, I am planning to see Cordoba on my way from Madrid to Seville.
