Alicante, Spain
1. How can I get there?
Transfer service from Alicante airport, bus station or train station from 8:00 to 22:00 is included in the package price. A representative of the school will pick campers up at the airport and bring them directly to their place of accommodation. Since Alicante airport is small, you will quickly see a person with your name that will be waiting for you when you exit the terminal.
From 22:00 to 8:00 or from other airports like Murcia or Valencia there is an extra cost.
If you want to come with your children or organise the trip own your own, the easiest way is to arrive to Alicante airport (El Altet). It is located only a short distance from the city centre and it takes about 20 min. by car. There are international and domestic flights that connect Alicante to the main European and Spanish cities like .Madrid or Barcelona. There are buses every 40 minutes (from 7:00am to 11:00pm) from Alicante airport to the center of Alicante (Bus stop at the exit of the terminal; the bus goes till the Plaza del Mar – last stop).
If you arrive to Madrid or Barcelona another option is to take a train. You can check times, frequency and prices on www.renfe.es
