I don't know of any "regular" coach service but we used to (several years ago) book a holiday coach trip through a company called Johnson Bros who used to do weekly trips to several areas of the continent.

Have you thought about the train services? I'm sure you would easily get connections through from London to Alicante.

Hi

Many years ago I caught trains from London to Valencia. The first time, we took Eurostar to Paris, and then a sleeper train to Barcelona, stayed for a day/night, and caught a train to Valencia - I've no doubt that you could carry on to Alicante.

On the 2nd occasion, we went from Paris to Montpellier, stayed a couple of nights and then caught an early train to Valencia.

It was good fun!

Cheers

Steve

You can get a train from Alicante to Paris not sure how you get the rest of the way, high speed I believe it is it used to arrive late at night

There are coaches from Alicante as well as Santa Pola, (possibly other towns too) to Bilbao. Buses from the station you arrive at leave for London.
