Compared with the good deals often available through the no-frills airlines, the coach isn’t always a cheap alternative, moreover you have a hellish two- to three-day journey. Eurolines, 52 Grosvenor Gardens, London SW1, T 020-7730 8235, http://www.eurolines.com departs several times a week in summer (once a week the rest of the year) from London to Spain; the journey to Madrid takes between 26-36 hours. Fares start at around £90 one-way, and £75-150 return. Peak-season fares are slightly higher. There are good discounts for students, under-26s, senior citizens and children under 12. The main bus and coach station in Madrid is the Estación Sur de Autobuses, Calle Méndez Alvaro, T 91 468 42 00, metro Méndez Alvaro. Bus 148 or the metro will link you with Plaza Colón in the city centre.
