Hife bus to Valderrobres

Valderrobres has no train, but it does have a regular bus. The company serving the town is Hife, which runs both regular lines and charter services, and which operates most of the regional lines of the Bajo Aragón. With it you can arrive without changing buses from Tortosa, Alcañiz and Zaragoza, and by connecting from many other cities.

Direct lines and connections

According to the Town Council, there is a direct service, without changing, between Valderrobres and Tortosa, Alcañiz and Zaragoza. From Barcelona, Teruel, Madrid, Bilbao, Vitoria, Pamplona, San Sebastián, Castellón or Valencia, among others, you arrive by combining lines: Hife manages the bus stations of Tortosa and Alcañiz, which are the two hubs where you change.

The up-to-date timetable is the leaflet "Horarios Área del Bajo Aragón con Zaragoza" (T06), which the Town Council links on its bus page in the June 2025 version. Among the recent changes it notes are the move of the 9:30 departure from Alcañiz to Zaragoza to 10:00 (T06-01) and the renaming of the Beceite stop, now called "Beceite. Explanada Oficina de Turismo" (T06-03). Before travelling, check the current version at hife.es, because timetables change with the season and there are fewer services on Sundays.

Useful telephone numbers

Hife answers on 902 119 814, 24 hours, every day of the year; its website, hife.es, has timetables and connections with other companies across Spain. The Town Council also lists the telephone numbers of the bus stations of Alcañiz (978 830 402), Zaragoza (976 700 599) and Teruel (978 610 789), and those of Autobuses Jiménez (902 202 787) and Samar (902 257 025), which are useful for planning connections from other cities.

Distances if you come by car

If you do decide on the car, Valderrobres is 35.7 km from Alcañiz on the N-232 towards Vinaròs; shortly after Ventas de Valdealgorfa you take the A-231. According to the Town Council, from Zaragoza it is 140 km (1 h 49 min), from Teruel and from Castellón 179 km, from Barcelona 222 km (2 h 35 min) and from Valencia 248 km (2 h 39 min). For leaving the car, see the page for the campervan area, which also explains the blue zone and the free car park beside the river.

Getting around the Matarraña without a car

The bus drops you in the town, but many visits in the region are in the hills. For the Parrizal de Beceite, the line stops at Beceite, at the tourist office esplanade; the page explains how to continue from the village to the start of the boardwalks, 5 km from Beceite, and how to buy the compulsory ticket online. For the rest, such as kayaking on Pena reservoir or the 4x4 route through the Ports, ask the companies whether they pick up in the town.

In Valderrobres everything is within walking distance: the stone bridge and the old town, the castle and church and the Regional Tourist Office, where they advise you on timetables and excursions.
