I will be finishing in Logrono, staying overnight, and travelling to Santander airport to get a flight home on the 27th. Bus is due into Santander bus station at 13.25 and my Ryanair flight is at 15.40. I'm a bit concerned that my timings are a bit tight. I plan to get taxi to the airport which should only take 10 mins. Has anyone done this journey and do you think it could work with my timings? If the bus gets in later than 13.25 I'll have to have a plan B. Or maybe I should finish at Los Arcos and make my way to Santander a day earlier?

Hola

I don't have personale experience but maybe look at www.rome2rio.com
It seems tight as you only have 1 hour 15 min to get from the station, check in and get yourself to the plane.
Most people would probably worry most of the journey so maybe its better to leave a day earlier and enjoy the ride and enjoy Santander by night.
Its a nice town with waterfront.

I hope this helps.

Buen Camino

That's the ALSA 09.20 from Logroño? It has to navigate (amongst the other stops) Bilbao. I'd say you are a little tight.

Get to Santander the day before and enjoy a night out and a swim the next morning with no stress.

I have not done that particular route but have travelled a lot using ALSA. They are generally reliable and on time, but not always.

My tuppence worth.

I appreciate the caution expressed by @lettinggo and @donalomahony but Santander is not a huge airport. A taxi from the bus station will, indeed, only take 10 minutes or so and, except on a very bad day, you can expect to be through check in and border control in another 20 minutes and spend the rest of your pre-flight time speculating on whether the unspeakable coffee is a deliberate ploy to make you buy a brandy to take the nasty taste away.

On the other hand I would always find an excuse to spend an evening in Santander if the opportunity arose.

I’d plan A, is that bus; plan B is the late bus the evening prior only you, on the ground, on the day, can know whether the plan C will be required
 
Thanks Lettingo, it's actually 2 hours and 15 mins to spare. But helpful ideas on spending some time in Santander. I used to have a Santander bank account a long time ago, ha ha
 
Thank you Donal, you are right, it might be hard to appreciate the journey if on such a tight deadline and I don't want to miss my flight. It's a Fri too so may be busier.

Thank you Tincatinker,
you always make me laugh. And your wise words helped me so much on previous Caminos. A leisurely bus journey and time in Santander is beginning to feel more attractive.
