Bus Almeria Madrid Cartagena Almería recent customer reviews
The bus arrived 45 minutes after the depicted arrival time on our tickets, and the arrival time which we planned our connecting bus tickets on. This lead to us missing our connecting bus, having to re purchase the connecting tickets for a later bus and almost missing check in for our accommodation.

Limited English spoken at counters but I found the ride itself of four hours interesting and comfortable. Some counter staff in Almeria spoke some English so I was able to book from a ticket dispensing machine with an English button my forward bus trip to Malaga

It is on time but it's hard to come by with English and the chairs are not very comfortable for a tall person.
