ALSA Santiago de Compostela León recent customer reviews
In general I love ALSA’s services, but my most recent trip from Santiago de Compostela to León was less than ideal. The bus made many, many small stops along the way, making my 6 hour trip seem truly endless! I think if the bus had only stopped in fairly major cities/towns, my trip would probably only have been about 4 hours.

Good but announcements only in Spanish. Just one or two words eg toilet break will do it. Thanks

Have to say busses are good but stations lack good signs. There should be an electronic board with bus detail. Your stations do not serve tourists well.
