There is no direct bus service. You will have to go to Alicante Bus Station and take the Cartagena bus stopping at Pilar de la Hordada - see timetables here https://estacionalicante.es/images/pdf/globalia-.pdf  A taxi will cost 50-70 Euros.

Hope you don't mind me reviving this thread.

I've been looking in to taking public transport between Alicante Airport and Torre de la Horarada and it's not an easy task (the reasearch).

I emailed Globalalia Autocares asking for an up to date timetable and they got back to me pretty quickly. It appears the Ruta 1 runs from the airport to Mil Palmeras and Pilar de la Horadada which will do me. Initially I thought I would have to change in either Torrevieja (using costazul) or San Pedro del Pinatar (Globalia).

Please see a copy of the timetable attched.

Tom

Thank you for the feedback. As you say "..not an easy task"..to get updated information. I admit I never heard about Globalia before, and this after living 40 years in the larger area. Good to know.

I stumbled across the following on a TripAdvisor thread from 2017 during my research....

Globalia Autocares was last summer awarded the contract (for the next 10 years) for the Alicante ↔ Cartagena bus route.

They have replaced Autocares Costa Azul as the concessionaire as of last Friday, March 3rd 2017.
