Buses in Spain

Our experience with buses in Spain is excellent. Since the rail system is not as well developed as in the rest of Europe, a good bus has been developed. Not as comfortable as a train but pretty good, have A/C and a bathroom.

We've used the buses too, and they were good. Comfy seats and clean. You may find you are assigned a seat number- it'll be on your ticket.

The bus ride in Spain is an excellent choice. Some may have rest rooms, some may not. Very comfortable - more so than the plane you will travel to Spain on most likely! Air conditioned, no smoking.

I almost chose the bus over the train from Granada to Madrid. I honestly don't remember why I ended up on the train. There wasn't much difference between them - possibly it was because the train station was closer to my hotel in Madrid than the bus station. I looked at the bus website - great visuals of the bus and you get to choose your seats, just like on the train. The bus looked super-modern and comfortable, in fact better in some ways than the train. Check out their website at https://www.alsa.es/en/services/supra/?searchType=clase&tipoBus=supra At the bottom of the page is a "virtual tour." Take it!

Our experience with the Spanish buses is that the seat reservation is generally ignored. We always had assigned seat numbers but other people sitting in our seats so we just moved to other seats and no one said anything.

My experience with ALSA and the other companies was uniformly positive and a good value.
