I just got my packet of information from the language school in San Sebastian. It says that the bus is a better choice than the train since it is 5.5 hours by bus. The bus company is Continental and departs from the Avenida Americas #9. Would anyone know how to make reservations on line, if they have a website, and what kind of busses they use? Nice ones or icky?

The MotorCoach line is Continental-Auto - I have made reservations by phone (supposed to auto-cancel if tickets are not purchased 2-hours before departure). We got there about an hour in advance and our reservations were still honored. Sorry, I don't know about making reservations online.

Avda. de America Intercambiador is quite close to Madrid's Aeropuerto de Barajas.

The website for Continental Auto is www.continental-auto.es

It's very helpful. In fact, I've used it to help make my plans for bus travel from Madrid to San Sebastian!

Hotel Europa in the Puerta del Sol area. Is the bus station very close or far to that area? Looks like the web site is all in spanish. That will give me a bit of a work out!
