- Time of past OR future Camino
- Sept/Oct 2023
I'm hoping someone can help me to understand bus transportation along the CF. I'd really like to be able to ascertain which of the small towns have service and to access timetables. I know that the larger cities have buses but what about places like Uterga, PLR, Torres del Rio, San Juan de Ortega, Villafranca del Bierzo, Trabadelo, Tricastela and other villages (ok so PLR IS a little larger than the others).
For instance, Alsa shows
I get this message from Alsa when I type in the location names:

I have pondered long the Alsa and Monbus websites but I can't seem to figure out the in-between stops along a specified route. For instance, a friend of mine had to take the bus which she boarded in Viana. She got off in Najera. When I try to pull up an Alsa timetable for the bus from Viana to Najera the website tells me there is no service, although I know there IS service. Monbus doesnt show this route either.
I'd like to know where along the CF I can get a bus as I may well change my route/plans mid camino. I do apologize for asking as it seems this info MUST be available. But (sigh) I must not be asking the right questions or looking in the right places or interpreting info correctly.
I think it was Trecile that posted a screenshot and instructions to download the Monbus timetable, but I could not find the specific page she referenced on the Monbus webpage.
For instance, Alsa shows
- Burgos - Barcelona
- Burgos - Benidorm
- Burgos - Bilbao
- Burgos - Madrid
- Burgos - Salamanca
- Burgos - Santander
- Burgos - Vitoria/Gasteiz
- León - Aviles
- Leon - Barcelona
- Leon - Gijon
- Leon - Madrid
- Leon - Oviedo
- León - Ponferrada
