Travelling by bus in Almeria
Travelling by bus is a great way to get around without a car. There are frequent services between the main towns in Andalucia and also day and overnight services to and from Madrid. Buses will be the only form of public transport into the surrounding villages and services are operated by different private bus companies. Most operate from the main bus terminals in the towns but some do use their own bus station. Tickets between towns should be purchased from the bus company's ticket sales window, this ticket will also be a reservation (possibly also the allocation of a seat). The bus driver usually checks the tickets as the passengers board. On shorter journeys or when boarding between towns the custom is to pay the driver.
