Interbus line 36 between Murcia station and Archena, with Sunday departures too; some services leave from or arrive at the spa.

Without a car, Archena and its spa can be reached from Murcia on Interbus buses. There are two useful services: line 36, Archena – Murcia, with some services that go into the spa itself, and the Ricote Valley line (MUR 092), which passes through Archena on its way to Ojós, Ricote and Blanca.
Line 36
It links Archena with Murcia bus station (platform 8) via Lorquí, the Llano de Molina and Molina de Segura. It has several branches: some services go via the Archena junction and calle Mayor in Espinardo, and others via Lorquí and avenida Juan Carlos I in Murcia. Those marked "b" leave from or go as far as the Balneario de Archena, with stops Balneario I and Balneario II, and those marked "c" go via the Villanueva roundabout.
According to the timetable published in May 2025, from Monday to Friday buses leave Murcia from 8:00 to 21:00, almost every hour, and from Archena from 6:50 to 20:00. On Saturdays they leave Murcia at 9:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 15:00, 17:00, 19:00 and 21:00. On Sundays and public holidays they leave Murcia at 10:00, 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, 17:00, 19:00 and 21:00, and return from Archena at 9:00, 9:45, 11:00, 12:50, 15:00, 18:00 and 19:55.
To go to the spa and back without changing bus, look for the "b" services: on weekdays, from Murcia at 13:30 and 19:30, and from the spa to Murcia at 9:00 and 15:00; on Saturdays, from Murcia at 15:00, and from the spa at 10:45 and 17:00; on Sundays and public holidays, from Murcia at 10:00 and 17:00, and from the spa at 9:00 and 15:00. The others drop you in the town of Archena. At weekends the line does not go through the Espinardo campus.
Ricote Valley line (MUR 092)
