Seasonal bus from Arenas to Poncebos and Sotres

On the busiest dates, the Principality runs a bus from Arenas to Poncebos, where the Cares trail and the Bulnes funicular begin, with a change at Poncebos for Tielve and Sotres. In 2026 it ran from 28 to 31 March, 1 to 5 April, 1 to 3 May, every weekend in May and from 1 June to 12 October.

It leaves Arenas roughly every hour from 8:00 to 13:00 and from 17:00 to 19:00, stops at the Ovar car park and reaches Poncebos in about 15 minutes. It costs €1.55 each way to Poncebos (€3.10 return) and €2.60 to Tielve or Sotres (€5 return). The last one leaves Sotres at 20:00 and reaches Arenas around 21:00. It does not go to Pandébano: from Sotres it is about 5 km on foot.
