ALSA bus Barcelona – Cardona

Cardona has no train. Without a car, you get there on the regular ALSA bus that links Barcelona with Andorra and stops in Cardona. According to the tourist office, there are four departures a day to Cardona. ALSA publishes timetables, stops and prices on its website and in its app, and they change with the season and the day of the week: check them before you set off and, above all, look at the time of the last bus back.

The other option is the train to Manresa, with Renfe or with the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat, about 30 km away, and from there a bus to Cardona.

On arrival, the tourist office is in the lower part of the town. From there you walk up to the old town; for the Salt Mountain, less than 2 km away, and for the castle, at the top of the hill, count on a good walk or a taxi.
