Buses to Peralada

Peralada is 7 km from Figueres, and the bus is the way to get there without a car from the capital of the Alt Empordà. The municipal website, Visit Peralada, names two companies: Ampurdán Bus and Sarfa, of the Moventis group. In practice, to go from Figueres to Peralada the one that serves is Ampurdán Bus; the Sarfa one passes through the village, but on the stretch with Figueres it does not take passengers, as explained below.

Ampurdán Bus from Figueres

Ampurdán Bus leaves from the Figueres bus station, on plaça de l'Estació, next to the railway station. In its timetable revised on 20 October 2025 there are four lines that stop at Peralada:

• L1 and L4, Figueres – Garriguella, via Vilabertran, Cabanes, Peralada, Vilarnadal, Masarac, Capmany, Sant Climent, Espolla, Mollet, Rabós and Delfià.
• L2 and L5, Figueres – Garriguella – Vilamanisclé, via Vilabertran, Cabanes, Peralada, Vilanova, Pedret i Marzà and Vilajuïga.

Between them they add up to several departures a day in each direction, with times through Peralada spread from early morning until night. The timetable separates working days from Monday to Saturday from Sundays and public holidays, and there is no service on 25 December or 1 January. The ticket to Peralada costs €1.90. The company clarifies that some departures from Figueres only stop at the villages where someone gets off, but that Vilabertran, Cabanes and Peralada always have a stop.

The Ampurdán Bus office is at avinguda Marignane, 2, in Figueres, and answers on 972 50 23 83 and 639 81 51 57, Monday to Thursday from 9:00 to 13:00 and from 15:00 to 18:00, and on Fridays from 9:00 to 14:00. On strike days it publishes minimum services on its website, so check it before setting out.

Sarfa (Moventis)

Visit Peralada links the timetable of Sarfa line 12, Figueres – Costa Brava Nord, in the summer 2025 version (1 July to 31 August). Some runs between Roses and Figueres go via Pau, Vilajuïga and Peralada, roughly every two hours. But the timetable itself warns that passengers are not accepted with origin Figueres or la Marca de l'Ham and destination Peralada, nor the reverse. This line therefore serves for going from Peralada to Roses or coming back from there, not for the journey with Figueres. Sarfa tickets are bought at compras.moventis.es.

Tips

If you arrive by train at Figueres, the bus station is on the same square as the conventional railway station; from the high-speed one, Figueres-Vilafant, you must first get to the centre. Check the time of the last bus back if you are going to the Festival Castell de Peralada, which is at night: if it does not fit, sleeping in the village, for example at the Hostal Can Palol, is the most convenient.

In Peralada, the tourist office is on plaça Peixateria, the starting point of the guided visit of medieval Peralada, and the Perelada winery organises visits with tasting: a good plan when you are not driving.
