Title: Bus to Elche
Post by: SueB on October 10, 2016, 22:11.: We are coming over to Spain this week and are thinking of going to Elche for the Medieval Festival and Market which we believe is on 20th October to 1st November. The last time we went to Elche, which was some years ago, we caught the Subus from a stop by the Saturday/Monday market place in Santa Pola, but as there is a new bus station now does anyone know if this service goes from there or does it still go from the original place. The last time we read about the new bus station it appeared no buses were operating from there.

Just google subus 1b and you will find a link to their website and you can download a pdf of their time table, and also the stops (there are a number in Elche). Roughly one an hour at five minutes to the hour from Arenales but less frequent around the lunch period.

I am interested in visiting Elche next week and the Areneles bus stop would be the most convenient. Can anyone tell me if this is the same bus stop at the carabassi beach which I have used to catch the bus to Alicante?

The time table is on the bus stop, it was the last time I used it

Regards all
