Hi everybody.
I hope to walk my second stage of the norte in september. I will end this stage in Oviedo as i want to walk the primitivo as my last stage.

I will be flying to Bilbao and start walking from Santander.

My questions are : how easy and frequent are the busses from Bilbao ( airport) to Santander and from Oviedo back to Bilbao( airport).
Are they on time and are they bussy so must i reserve a seat well beforehand or can i buy a ticket the same day?

I remember there are frequent busses between Bilbao and Santander( from Oviedo I don't know)You can look at the Rome2 Rioside. ( If you walk from Santander I would recommend taking the alternative route along the coast, it is beautifull and avoids the not so pretty walk to Boo de Pielagos. It is not marked but there are descriptions of it on this forum)
 
Thank you. I was planing to walk that way. And yes i got the info on this forum.

You can fly right into Santander - I walked from Irun and picked up my husband at the Santander airport in September....

Unfortunately i can't fly to santander or at least it will be a long flight. There are no planes going direct to santander from the area that I live.
 
Hi! The company to look at is called Alsa. They have lots of trips between Bilbao and Santander daily. They also have buses to/from Oviedo but less so.

The website is quite user friendly so you could put in approx dates and see how many services are running and prices.

How full they get depends on the time day, day of the week etc. So Sunday afternoon/evening, for example, do fill up as people return home etc.

Hi.There is a regular bus service from Bilbao Airport A3247 to the bus station(Bilbao Intermodal) It runs about every 20 mins and you can catch it at the last exit out of the airport. It costs 3 euros, but you will need to wear a mask on all public transport, unless the rules change.There are regular busses to Santander with Alsa coach company. Just download the Alsa App, it will give you all the timetables. You can either book in advance or buy your ticket on the day at the bus Station. Buen Camino
