Quesada to Guardamar bus timetables (2016) and review
Posted: Thu May 01, 2014 8:40 am
We went to Guardamar by bus for the day, from Quesada, yesterday (see the Timetable link below) and it was very easy.
Although the bus is not as regular as most of us would want, we found it was, more or less, on time at the times stated on the timetable. It's the Agostense bus (a very big coach with Agostense written on the side) going from Orihuela to Guardamar. Here's a photo of the bus at the stop:
Edit April 2016 ...This area may be slightly different than this photo as there has been some building work here but the bus stop is still approx in the same position.
We got the bus from the bus stop in the high street Quesada which is opposite the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) near the new Quesada Boulevard opposite the Deutsche bank. There are other buses from this stop to Guardamar- see latest timetable link below.
The bus was about 15 minutes late (not too bad really) . See this photo for the approx position of the bus stop (although the photo was taken before the Boulevard was built and the shaded roof over the parked cars has now been removed):
You pay on the bus and it's a comfortable air-conditioned coach.
The bus station is between 10 and 15 minutes walk to the beach.
We went on market day (Wednesday) and the market starts very close to the bus station, so we had a look on the market.
We then walked through the natural park (lovely views, beautiful park) on a long leisurely walk to the marina, where we stopped for a drink. Then walked back to Guardamar and had a very good (late) set lunch at 3pm in Jaen's Restaurant in Guardamar ( Recommended Topic to follow soon, although this place has been recommended before on TalkQuesada).
Afterwards we sat on a bench at the front watching the world go by on the beach, until we walked back to the bus station.
All in all a 'grand day out' and we will be doing it again.
Here's the link to the timetable below - Summer times (Verano) start from June onwards - Always check at the bus stop, bus website or ask in the town hall for the latest timetables:
