Bus Service

Hi everybody

Could anyone tell me any details of the local bus service around Veranda I have tried looking on the internet for details but carn't find anything.  Also does anybody know if the bus that was put on by Keymare last year to circle the area will be running this year ?

Thanks

Debbie & Kevin

Hi Debbie & Kevin

If you send me a PM I can email you the bus timetable.

Hi Kevin and Debbie.

We were out in Spain last week and after giving the bus service a trial run at New Year we made good use of it again this visit.   As it is they run hourly 25 - 20 mins to the hour to Vera and 15 - 20mins  past the hour to Mojacar.  The times do vary a bit depending on how full they are but if you get to the bus stop about 5 mins early then you should be Okay.

On the way to Vera they stop at Mercadona and opposite Intermarche before Vera Town Centre.  Going the other way, there are loads of stops including one at the Consum, Pueblo Laguna, The Plastic Cow Restaurant, Garrucha and several through Mojacar and the cost is really reasonable. I think we paid 80c each to Garrucha.  Great if you want to go out and have a couple of beers without worrying about driving.  We are keen to use them now as much as possible so that they will continue the service, though I must say they seem pretty well used anyway.

A couple of nights last week we got the 7.20 bus to go out for a meal, once at the Plastic Cow (Do you know where I mean?) then another night to the sea front at Garrucha.  It was great.  We had plenty of time to enjoy our meal then got the 9.20 bus back.

What we haven't discovered yet is whether or not they do a sort of 'Day Rover' ticket which might be quite good.

Have a great time and 'Happy bussing!'

I knew if I looked hard enough I would find it - the website for the bus company is http://www.autocaresbaraza.com

It is all in Spanish with no English option but it is quite easy to navigate & find the information that you need.

Pauline, by "The Plastic Cow" I assume you mean "The Angus & Hereford" - I think your description is far mor imaginative!!

Hi Noreen.

You are of course absolutely right about 'The Plastic Cow'  we just like the name better. I'm not sure but it may be a sort of 'Welsh thing', giving alternative names for people and places.  You know, like we  have 'Dai the Milk' , 'Tony Chips' and so on.

Best wishes,

Pauline

Hi,

Send me a PM if you want to received the bus timetables on pdf.

Thanks everybody for your information will look at website.

We have not yet tried  The Plastic Cow  but the restaurant a few doors away called Bamboo is well worth a visit.

Looking forward to meeting you all hopefully some time this year.
