Transfer from Asturias airport

[Marina Zd]

Hello everybody! I'm planning my Camino Primitivo for May this year. It will be my second Camino, the first one was Camino Frances in April 2016. It was wonderful experience so I'm going back for more . Anyway, I need information about possible transfer from Asturias airport to Oviedo. I will arrive to airport at 8,30 p.m., oversleep in Oviedo and start walking next day. Is there available bus line from airport to Oviedo at that time? Also, if I take a taxy, is there some known and safe taxy company that I should looking for (maybe even book a taxy for specific day)? Or you have any other ideas that could be helpful for me in this matter.... Thank you!

Hi, Marina,

Welcome to the forum!

The airport bus runs regularly up till about 11:30 pm. I think it goes once or twice an hour. You can just buy the ticket from the driver. The airport is very small and you won't have trouble finding the bus stop, right outside the main door and to the right.

There is no problem with taking any taxi that you see outside the airport. Price will probably be between 50 and 60 euros. Buen camino, Laurie

Yes, it's Alsa. https://www.alsa.com/en/web/bus/our-destinations/airports/asturias-ranon-airport

The bus station in Oviedo is very close to the camino, but on the way out of town. So you will probably want to go into the center and the cathedral. Not sure what the status of the albergue is, but it is likely to be closed when you get there. A hotel or pension in the old part of town is probably your best bet.

I assume that bus station is not far away from center, so I can walk to the center, as a preparation for camino , or I need to take some other bus for center?

Bus station is a bit more than a km from the cathedral. Here's the google maps indication.
