I will be arriving in Madrid Sunday morning and taking a bus directly from the airport to Salamanca. I've looked at the maps but I'm not sure which bus station we will be arriving. We are staying in the old town and trying to figure out how far it is. Not sure whether to try to walk with jet lag or take a taxi. I know someone on here knows about how far it might be? Thanks!

Where are you staying? The main bus station is at Ave Filiberto Villalobos and Calle Pena de Francia. If you go to Google Maps and put in Estacion de Autobuses de Salamanca and ask for directions to your hotel, it will show you how far it will be or tell us where you are staying and I will try to look it up for you.

Thanks. I did look it up on google maps but I wasn't sure about which bus station we would arrive. It was pretty straight forward & only said about 16 minutes. We are staying at Hospedium Plaza Mayor.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Yup 1.3 km. Looks like you can catch City Bus #4 and ride down to Plaza Mayor or at least close to it?

You get off bus #4 at the corner of Villalobos and where it turns onto the N-630 across from the Campo de San Francisco park. Looks like you have to walk from there to Plaza Mayor.
Thanks - looks pretty simple.

The main bus station is about 20 mins walk from the old town. An easy walk if you don’t have much luggage.
