Las guiritanas prefer to tell you, Eli almost stayed on the platform one Sunday evening for the last bus.
He was €5 short in cash.
But a kindly gaditana (it's not a legend) advanced him the money to avoid a night in a hotel in Seville.
🕰️ Journey time: 1h10
➕➕Anotheradvantage: the bus is faster than the train and less crowded.
No stops, except one at the entrance to "Puerta de Tierra", the new town before the stop at Cadiz bus station. For the record, the Cadiz bus station is right next to the train station.
And now to our destination:
⚠️AVIS guiritanas ➽Prefer the bus to the train: never delays or last-minute cancellations.
The last train delay at 7.36pm from Seville to Cadiz was a test of our patience. Train too often postponed to 20:50. In that case, you'd better take the 8.30pm bus to enjoy Seville during the day.
➽ Visit Cadiz 🍀as if you were living there, with las guiritanas 😉
Last but not least, we don't have a car; we don't need one. The bus, train, bike and foot network 😉 is very good for reaching Andalusian cities. When we head for the wilder beaches or white villages, we rent directly from Cadiz station.
