Spain By Bus

Unless you're travelling on a rail pass, buses will probably meet most of your transport needs; many smaller villages are accessible only by bus, almost always leaving from the capital of their province. Service varies in quality, but buses are generally reliable and comfortable enough - especially for long distances, with prices pretty standard at around €10 per 100km. The only real problem involved is that many towns still have no main bus station, and buses may leave from a variety of places (even if they're heading in the same direction, since some destinations are served by more than one company). Where a new terminal has been built, it's often on the outer fringes of town. As far as possible, departure points are detailed in the text or the "Travel details".

One important point to remember is that all public transport, and the bus service especially, is drastically reduced on Sundays and holidays - it's best not even to consider travelling to out-of-the-way places on these days. The words to look out for on timetables are diario (daily), laborables (workdays, including Saturday), and domingos y festivos (Sundays and holidays).
