Travel tips Logrono to Madrid

[Trevor Gaymans]

I’ll be finishing a voluntary Hospitalero stint in Alcandre (near Logrono) on 30 June and need to get to Madrid airport for my flight home the next day.
Anyone out there with some good advice?

One direct train per day. A lot more buses - slightly slower but cheaper. Lots of links on Rome2Rio

Also take into consideration that there is only a vending machine for your ticket in this station.
Make yourself familiar on which platform you need to be.

I have taken the bus a few times to and from Logroño - Madrid.

Please advise on journey time and cost, if possible. Ball park bus vs train will do. Obviously both are valid, providing one has time. Fight times are misleading due to early arrival for boarding. So if train gets one to the airport directly (without changing and waiting for next) at Madrid Central, it may be beneficial to go train way?
Please let me know your thoughts.

Good to note SabsP, but surely it’s possible to buy via www well before and print ticket?

Prices will vary according to day and time. If you search on this website for the date you have in mind you will get results for both train and bus - with journey time and cost.

Jimenez and Alsa both have buses direct to the airport from Logroño. Alsa 3 or 4 per day. Range in price from 20 to 30 euros depending on the time of day and the bus amenities. It is about a 4 hr ride. Tickets not yet available for Jimenez at the end of June.

The Logrono to Madrid bus ride, before reaching Soria, goes through some staggeringly beautiful country. And, if you're attentive and know where and when to look for them, you can glimpse the remains of the great lost pre-Roman city of Numancia from the bus.

Bradypus in post #2 gave you all of that information in the Rome2Rio link. Open it. Now click on the bus or train icon. There are the timetables and prices.

Thank you … that is exactly the news I needed to hear. I’d gladly do a 4 hour bus ride than an air flight if less than 1 hour.
I’ll do the necessary from here.

I thank all those who commented.
Much appreciated.
