Do the buses go from central Madrid bus station ?
There are several bus stations in Madrid.
If your destination is Pamplona ... ALSA and PLM Autocares buses leave from Avenida de America ... a major transportation hub in Madrid. Take EMT Madrid bus #200 from all terminals at the airport to Avenida de America where it terminates.
The benefit is that not all buses from Avenida de America call at the airport T4 ... you could end up waiting at the airport a long time while several buses leave Madrid for Pamplona.
PLM Autocares goes direct.
ALSA goes via Soria or Zaragosa where there is a quick transfer (and sometimes the 'transfer' involves the same bus.)
hello all I'd like some advice on catching either the train or bus from Madrid to Pamplona. Arriving in Madrid airport at midday, leaving same day for Pamplona.
The main question is how long should I leave between arriving at Madrid airport and a departure time for the train - which I can see goes from Atocha involving a transfer, and departure time for a bus which I can see leaves from the airport.
Would be thinking 3 hours for train or 2 hours for the bus?
Am I cutting it too fine...
Also, which would be the more scenic and enjoyable a ride
Thanks for your help

There are buses that go from right outside the airport terminal at T4.
There are also buses that go from the bus station at Avenida de America - but if you're flying in, it's easier just to step outside the airport doors and walk onto a bus!

I travel to Madrid nearly every year, and from there go to Pamplona.
I walk outside the T4 (Terminal 4) at Madrid, and there are always buses waiting to go to Pamplona.
The buses in Spain are Mercedez Benz buses, almost always.
They have big old comfie seats, are quiet and have big viewing windows.
It is a very comfortable ride.
The buses from Madrid to Pamplona run all day.
You can see the schedule for your day by going to www.movelia.es
You do NOT have to purchase tickets ahead of time. You can purchase them from the bus driver.
Or sometimes there is a little kiosk near the buses.
I've done the train as well, but personally the bus is easier, more comfortable, and less expensive.
I take the bus every chance I get in Spain, over the train.
Mmm now you have me thinking my plans,i have hotel booked in Madrid and was travelling to Pamplona next day as i couldn't find bus,i arrive at 11AM so i would imagine i could get bus straight from airport n bypass Madrid central.However it would appear i would have a 4 hour wait at airport for 15:15 bus((
When I go to this website (movelia.es) I do not get a schedule just the opportunity to buy a ticket. I confess I understand very little Spanish but do not see the link for a list of times.

Thank you all, I think walking outside T4 and getting a bus sounds the easiest option, especially after a roughly 30 hour trip from Australia!
Having done the Auz journey the other way around a few times when walking there I would recommend a night in Madrid before onward journey - lovely city. There are hotels within easy reach of terminal and very reasonable if you book over a weekend.
