ALSA Valencia Cartagena recent customer reviews
Bus was comfortable but a bit worn. It did have a WC, which was nice. ALSA window at Valencia station was closed and all monitors were off so it was very difficult to know which bus to go to.
Greg C.
The service was good and the bus was on time, but for such a long trip having entertainment options would have made things even more enjoyable.
Pierrette B.
