Getting around Spain

June 27, 2008

If you travel by ferry to Cuerto do not be fooled by the immigration assistants who sell the arrival cards to passengers on the way to immigration. It is all just a scam and the immigration will, of course, give you one for free once you arrive.

Transport here is cheap. Bright green TITSA buses run all over the island, they are regular and run on time. In addition to the already cheap fares, you can purchase Bonobus cards (look for signs in newsagents windows, normally a green sticker saying ‘comprar una Bonobus aquil’) from lots of shops and at bus stations. One of these cards costs 2000 pesatas which you then insert into a machine when you board a bus and state your destination. You get 25% off the normal price and it is deducted form the 2000 pts on your card, so not only do you avoid having to carry pocketfuls of change, but you also get discounted fares.
