We didn't mention getting the card on the bus at the airport because we don't know whether all the buses will have them. Thanks for watching- share this video if you think it will help someone. Thanks.
Now trains is something else... there are various offers throughout the year. Previously there was only RENFE but now that there are more options you can shop around and look for cheaper routes between some cities... Thanks for watching 👍
Great video. I'm coming down this week for a month. Will see if the bus from ALC has the tarjeta azul if not, I'll just purchase it from Torrevieja bus station.
Didn't get it.... So, can I buy the card in the Alicante airport to go Torrevieja, if you said, that we can buy it only at bus stations. Is there a bus station in the airport?...
You can get them at either Alicante, Guardamar or Torrevieja bus stations. Some buses also have the cards "in stock"- although not sure about the airport bus at the airport if they will have the cards on them. (There is no bus station at the airport)- that's why I didn't specifically mention getting the card on the bus at the airport. Thanks for watching.
Just a wee add on to the airport bus. We went to purchase tickets today for transfer from Torrevieja - Alicante Airport with our bus pass. The lady didnt take payment, but instead gave us a reservation ticket to use as a guarantee for our seats on the bus. She informed us that you just tap the machine on the bus to purchase the tickets.
Thanks. We've heard that if you go to the bus station you can reserve your place (but not from the airport- the only way you can do that is if you book online in advance and can't use the card for that and get the discount) But. Thanks for the feedback and for watching- unfortunately we can't "edit" a video once it's uploaded (yet) to give people the updated info. 👍
There's an avanza app, but doesn't work for all routes. Maybe called avanza go. Failing that, should be on their website- maybe Costa azul or azul cares or similar. Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for watching. To our knowledge it covers all Avanza buses in Alicante province- the bus station should be able to confirm. We know Alvero (pretty boy) uses the same card- he lives in El Campello, which is north of Alicante. Worse case if you get no discount you use it as a payment method...
I thought only oap's got bus passes! Nah all joking aside I understand the buses work really well out there, certainly compared to back here. Great bit of info to save people a few quid!
Ha ha ha.. think there is a actually a different pass you can get if you're a pensioner! (Can't do that video for a few years yet 😉🤪😆)- thanks for watching 👍
Can you give me some tips, how get to Alicante from Torrevieja on bus? I got avanza card, but when I entered to bus, driver told me that I need reservation. Queue to ticket office was huge, so I resigned. Only from main bus station I can get to Allicante? Do you known opening hours ticket office (main bus station)?
@arturstanczak4032 thanks for watching. For some reason it's only when you catch from the bus station they ask to see reservation- unfortunately we don't know the office opening times.
Thanks for watching. We suspect it's on the Costa azul service in Alicante province (not tram) but can't confirm as yet (we will know in a few weeks as some subscribers are going upto Benidorm)
Hello, Brits! I really enjoyed your videos, even I'm not a native english speaker, but I do love England. Well, I also love Spain and in couple of days I will go on another trip to Spain and of course, Alicante and Torrevieja, Do you know if for a non resident people (me and my wife), but living in European Union, may I buy this Tarjeta Bus and use it from Airport to Torrevieja (or viceversa), plus in Torrevieja? Your answer will help me a lot. Thanks! And all the best to you!
Hi! Thanks for watching 👍 they do not ask for ID when buying the card- anyone can purchase. You may not be able to buy on the bus at/ from the airport, but you can buy from most other buses/ alicante bus station/ guardamar bus station or torrevieja bus station. To use the pass on the bus to the airport, you first need to reserve spaces at the bus station, but pay for the rrip using the card when you get on the bus. Enjoy your trip! 👍
Can i buy this card on the airport? If I buy card from bus driver, how top it up? How can I check the card top-up? In a few days I will be in Alicante. Please reply. Regards.
Normally you can't get the card from the bus at the airport. You can get on any other buses in the Alicante province or at the bus station. When you use the card, you get a receipt showing the fare paid and amount of credit left on the card. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for watching 👍
A great idea for visitors not wanting/able to drive.
Thanks for watching.👍- gives some people an alternative to a taxi..
Any news on a new bus station???
We've not heard anything on that for quite a while....
Will look into getting a bus card Andy that’s a good saving, just wish the local buses were more reliable 😀
Thanks for watching. We've been fortunate that every time we've caught one we've not had to wait too long...
Great info - thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 👍
This is brilliant! Never heard of this card! How do I find the timetable of the busses? Thanks for this info guys 😁
There's an avanza app, but doesn't work for all routes. Maybe called avanza go. Failing that, should be on their website- maybe Costa azul or azul cares or similar. Thanks for watching 👍
Hallo, thanks for the video
I think this cardsays AVANZA bus
But can this also be used on Costa Azul and Ailsa buses??
To our knowledge. Avanza and Costa azul are the same company. Not sure if you can use them on Alisa. Thanks for watching 👍
Is is suitcaseable to travel on bus with luggage? Thanks for info!
Thanks for watching. Yes- large cases are put into the storage area under the bus, typically.
Thank you for the information didn’t realise go to the airport quite a lot , just asking does it cover going to Alicante it self

Q, Does this bus card extend travel to the Benidorm areas?
