| Note 1
- The earlier bus may not wait for the train, so expect 29 minutes
wait at the station. |
| Note 2
- not needed at this time |
| Note 3 - I would not take a chance on the next bus. It arrives only 3 or 4 minutes before the trains are due to leave. You would not have time to buy a train ticket. |
| Note 4 - the bus may not wait if the train is late. Next bus is 30 minutes later. |
| Note 5 - there is a bus into Albufeira at 2130 from 1st June to 30th September; otherwise the last bus is at 2100. |
