So if the a question is do the buses stop in Cabo Roig on that day I can only guess that either the buses have or alternate route or possibly will stop somewhere different.

I live nearby, and avoid Cabo Roig like the plague on Paddy's Day!

The parade does a loop right around the strip  including the streets at the back and the sides. 
No the roads are  usually closed for most of the day and evening due to the sheer volume of people around. There’s also entertainment  etc. outside of the parade hours  w...

I believe the shuttle vehicles. from the other bars in the area are dropping off on the La Regia side of the N332

Hi Shav

I’ve asked the same question to the organisers of the parade but they don’t seem to know answer either. I will keep an eye for early bus on Friday morning (passes by me!) and let you know as I too will be relying on the bus to get me up and from parade ☘️
