transportation to and from Haro

I see results in Google and RometoRio, so it could be an issue with the date on the search function. Looks like you change at Miranda de Ebro for Haro--check Renfe train and Alsa bus. Second leg also Renfe or Alsa. You may just need to wait closer to see the exact schedule, but just put a dummy date in those websites to see typical schedule for the month you are going.

Well, there´s no direct link between Donostia-San Sebastian and Haro, no logical reason for it. There are two buses daily from D-SS to Logroño, and then it´d be the bus to Haro. Haro to Barcelona direct does not make any sense except if you take Logroño or any other big town as the starting point.

Thanks MikelBasqueGuide. I looked at schedules (Rome2Rio) and it looks like there are almost hourly buses from San Sebastian to Vitoria-Gasteiz. There are also almost hourly buses from Vitoria-Gasteiz to Logrono. Again, many options from Logrono to Haro. Am I reading those schedules correctly? The tip about Logrono being a better jumping off point has eased my frustration considerably. I'm seeing a couple of trains (OMIO) out of Logrono to Barcelona...about 6 hours of travel. Please let me know if I'm missing something with these routes.

Hi Beth,

check the Alavabus, they have a bus route Vitoria to Haro. Linea 12.

Donostia-San Sebastian has frequent bus links to the capital of the Basque Country, Vitoria-Gasteiz, it makes sense as it´s within the same political entity, the Basque Country. Vitoria-Gasteiz has many links with Logroño, in neighboring La Rioja Autonomous Community, and Logroño is in effect well linked with a relevant town like Haro. Logroño is the capital of La Rioja (not to be mistaken with Rioja D.O.C. wine region, that comprises several Communities). Your information is correct and it´s just a question of matching times and routes.

Thank you dlindstrom. That will cut out one leg of that trip! This travel forum is awesome!

My girlfriend and I visited Haro in October 2021. We took a train from Zaragoza to Haro and then for our return we scheduled a taxi to drive us from Haro to Logrono and we took a train from Logrono to Madrid. The cab fare wasn't bad (or I would remember, so prob. less than 50 euros). Our hotel (Los Agustinos, which I highly recommend) helped arrange the cab, since we needed to be picked up very early in the morning.

Thanks for all of the good feedback. Based on a recommendation from someone on this thread, I've decided to change our home base to Logrono. It will make it easier for our visit for many reasons.

Smart choice. There’s much more to do, and more shops and restaurants, in Logroño than Haro which is fairly small.
