Hi

We'll be landing in Madrid around 6:30 and want to get to the north coast by bus/train preferably the same day. Does anybody have information on this - I've tried the websites (most are Spanish) but I'm not sure what to do as I would prefer not to go into Madrid itself (sounds like a big, bustling city)?

Thanks
Hester

Hi - I've had a quick look at this - others may have actually done this journey.

It seems that if you don't want to go into Madrid you can either:

1 Fly on to Bilbao or Santander - http://www.iberia.com/

2 Get a bus - http://www.alsa.es/portal/site/Alsa

If you want to take a train you need to travel to the main train station in Madrid. Have a look here:

http://www.renfe.es/ "Ida y Vuelta" Is a return journey. "Ida" is outgoing only.

I don't know the dates of your travel or arrival/connection times but these sites should give you the information you need.

Good luck with the research :)
 
Hi!
I have done a couple of times Madrid-Santander return by bus. Very easy!

First, bus from airport direct to main bus station ''Intercambio Avenida de America'' (bus 204);

Then, bus direct Madrid to Sandander with Alsa. Nice trip, beautiful scenery, especially after Burgos.

Good luck!

Hello! I’ve been browsing the forum and there’s plenty of info for baggage transfers from stage to stage, where you pick it up daily, give it back and move on, however what I’m after is a service...
