getting bus from alicante airport to Guardamar

Hi

We have stayed in Guardamar several times before and normally hire a car but money is tight this visit and I was considering getting a bus from airport into Alicante and then onto Guardamar, has anyone done this before?  I have been reading up on the net about all the changes with the new terminal in the airport and kinda dreading the thought of trying to find the bus stop at the airport and then getting from the main bus station onto Guardamar.  If anyone has done it before and has any advise it would be great.

Many thanks

We stopped at the airport recently, on the bus from Murcia to Alicante.  The stop was on the same level as the taxi ranks, and I believe it will be fairly obvious when you are inside the airport.  My daughter flew to Spain not long after the new teminal opened, and she said there were lots of people asking where the bus stops were so she just followed them!

When are you planning to come to Spain?  I am flying to London for a brief visit on 19th May, returning on 23rd May, so I can post more information after that.

 No need Sue, it is quite easy, you go up to the bus stops they are clearly marked Alicante & Murcia, the C6 takes you into the bus station you then catch a Costazul bus to Cartagena or Torrevieja depends on timings but they are qutoe frequent, the total cost will be around 8€ per person

Many thanks Sue and Auntielinda for the replys, we are flying over on Saturday morning and I was probably getting some last minute jitters about catching the bus.  We are only bring one suitcase each so hope this will work on the buses and the apartment in Guardamar is not too far from the bus station so that part will be OK it was just actually catching the correct bus from the airport and then again from Alicante bus station onto Guardamar that had me panicing but I am actually quite looking forward to seeing the countryside between Alicante and Guardamar.  Auntielinda can I ask does both the Cartagena and Torrevieje buses stop at the bus station in Guardamar?  Also would you have any idea how long the journey would take?

Many thanks

Hi G

This shows you times etc http://www.costazul.net/Lineaalicanteingles.htm seems it's a 45 min journey.

I have never caught the bus but mt sister has and says it stops in all the main places along the route so I'd assume it stops in Guardamar

As I have posted (in answer to girseach) ... this (link) shows you times etc http://www.costazul.net/Lineaalicanteingles.htm  .. seems it's a 45 min journey. (Alicante to Guardamar)

@ auntielinda

Do NOT send me messages such as the one you have sent  

SUBJECT: NASTY

Message was 'there is no need for your post I was answerinf a question asked of me !'

What EXACTLY was NASTY about my post. I was answering girseach TOO, we are ALL members here ...that's why it is called a forum!

girseach asked 'does both the Cartagena and Torrevieje buses stop at the bus station in Guardamar?  Also would you have any idea how long the journey would take?'

You said (after I had answered the question asked) 'I'd assume it stops in Guardamar' but you didn't say it did or how long it took (I gave that info).

It hardly matters WHO helps, just that SOMEONE does.
