# La Alberca – Salamanca bus Service en La Alberca and the Sierra de Francia · La Alberca and the Sierra de Francia Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/castile-and-leon/la-alberca/services/bus-to-salamanca · Revisado: 2026-11-12 Autocares V. Cosme · 923 120 800 · Also on Sundays La Alberca has a scheduled bus to Salamanca every day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday, with Autocares V. Cosme. It is the only way to reach the Sierra de Francia without a car, and with the Sunday timetable the visit can be done in a day from the city. The town hall publishes the timetables on its website, warning that they are not binding and must be checked with the company: call 923 120 800 beforehand, especially on public holidays. Published timetables According to the town hall's table: Monday to Friday, working days: departures from La Alberca to Salamanca at 7:30 and 15:15; from Salamanca to La Alberca, at 13:30 and 18:00. Saturdays: from La Alberca to Salamanca, at 8:45; from Salamanca to La Alberca, at 14:00. Sundays: from Salamanca to La Alberca, at 10:00; from La Alberca to Salamanca, at 19:20. In winter time, when the clocks change, the Sunday return is brought forward an hour and leaves at 18:20. In Salamanca the buses leave from the bus station on Avenida Filiberto Villalobos; its phone number is 923 220 187. The town hall does not publish fares or journey time: ask the company when you book or at the ticket office. How a visit without a car fits The timetable is designed for residents who go down to Salamanca, so not every day works for a return trip. Sunday is the good day for an excursion: you arrive mid-morning on the 10:00 bus and have the whole afternoon until the return. From Monday to Friday, if you arrive on the 13:30 there is no return until 7:30 the next day, so on weekdays the plan without a car is for one night or more. Saturday is the same: the return bus leaves in the morning, before the outbound one arrives. Other lines from La Alberca The town hall publishes two more lines, running a few days a week. To Béjar, with Autocares Viagon (923 485 508), on Mondays and Fridays: it leaves La Alberca at 7:10 and returns from Béjar at 13:30. To Ciudad Rodrigo, on Tuesdays and Thursdays: it leaves at 8:45 and returns at 13:30. Neither allows you to come from elsewhere and go back the same day. What to see on foot from the stop La Alberca is toured on foot: the old town and Plaza Mayor, with the tourist office at number 11, and the Camino de las Raíces, a waymarked 8 km loop that starts from the village. With a night, the PRSA-10 goes down on foot to the Las Batuecas valley. For lunch near the square, La Catedral; to sleep a hundred metres away, the Hotel Doña Teresa. The Peña de Francia, on the other hand, is out of reach without a car. ## Practical details - Phone: +34 923 120 800 - Sundays, departure from Salamanca at 10:00 and return from La Alberca at 19:20 (18:20 in winter time), according to the timetable published by the town hall; confirm it with the company. - What they offer: Scheduled bus to Salamanca, On Sundays, outbound in the morning and return in the evening ## Cómo llegar y contacto - Coordenadas: 40.4886, -6.11 ## Cerca de aquí - [Camino de las Raíces (Roots Trail)](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/castile-and-leon/la-alberca/things-to-do/camino-de-las-raices), a 0 m - [Old Town and Plaza Mayor of La Alberca](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/castile-and-leon/la-alberca/things-to-do/la-alberca-old-town-plaza-mayor), a 0 m - [La Catedral, grill inn](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/castile-and-leon/la-alberca/where-to-eat/la-catedral-meson-asador), a 14 m - [Hotel Doña Teresa](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/castile-and-leon/la-alberca/where-to-stay/hotel-dona-teresa), a 109 m - [Hotel Batuecas](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/castile-and-leon/la-alberca/where-to-stay/hotel-batuecas), a 155 m - [Las Batuecas Park House (Casa del Parque)](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/castile-and-leon/la-alberca/things-to-do/park-house), a 262 m - [Hotel Antiguas Eras](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/castile-and-leon/la-alberca/where-to-stay/antiguas-eras-hotel), a 263 m - [Horse riding in the Sierra de Francia](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/castile-and-leon/la-alberca/things-to-do/horse-riding), a 902 m Destino: [La Alberca and the Sierra de Francia](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/castile-and-leon/la-alberca.md)
