Tarifa (Cadiz) Travel Forum

I am traveling with my husband and son from Tarifa to Sevilla on March 22, 2008. Is there a local train or bus we can take? Also, since this is pre-Easter can/should we get tickets ahead of time? I could not find a Renfe train line to Tarifa. We are currently living in Barcelona - where would we go to get advance tickets? Thanks for any help you may be able to give us!

There doesn't seem to be much of a train service between the 2 and even buses you need to change in Cadiz. Buses start around 7.00 in the morning to Cadiz and every hour. From Tarifa to Sevilla from 7.00 every 2 hours on the hour with an extra one at 13.30. Probably Linesure from Cadiz to Tarifa and TG Comes to Sevilla. Timetables are given to operate everyday.

OOPs typo, that Tarifa to Sevilla on the 3rd line should, of course read ,Cadiz to Sevilla. Sorry

There is no train service. Take TG comes buses changing at cadiz. You can buy tickets on their website http://www.tgcomes.es/ though you shouldn't need to worry about booking ahead unless you travel during Semana Santa.

You can check the timetables on the website too.

Well looking at the site it seems you don't have to change buses, though I'm sure it goes via Cadiz.

It costs 16 euros and there are about 4 buses a day.

Things aren't well linked down here.

COMES is having problems with staff over working conditions. they do advertise strikes during Semana Santa. On the web site they say 19th, 21st and 23rd will be strike days (all day) HUELGA !!
So don't know what may happen on the 22nd. Maybe it will be ok.

An alternative route from Tarifa to Seville is to use LINESUR bus operator. They run services via Jerez using the A381 smooth dual carriageway road from near San Roque to Jerez then onto the main motorway from Jerez to Seville. The times are on www.linesur.com

Only thing is that you need to get from Tarifa to Algeciras (San Bernardo bus station) and the local bus service is - yes - TG COMES ! The distance between Tarifa and Algeciras is not that great - about 30 minutes by taxi. Perhaps a taxi fare may not be too much if all else fails.
