Hi everyone, I purchased an apartment in Monte golf last year but I haven't been brave enough to drive abroad yet! Can anyone tell me if there is any public transport from Alicante Airport to Villamartin?

Take the plunge n get a car, I hadn't driven abroad until last month, I'm at campoverde just past villamartin if u come from Alicante airport, it's just a case of taking it steady for first day or two, just like starting over again n I've been driving 38 years, you'll notice one or two others going very steady, they're prob the same, there is transport to Pinar de horadada which is down the road from me, which is a few miles past villamartin, so if you look at the maps u should get somewhere close even if u have to have a taxi for the last mile or two, but u might get one direct, good luck.

You can get the airport bus from Alicante Airport to Torrevieja.  It runs every two hours on the odd hour i.e. 9 am, 11 am etc.  Then runs back again from Torevieja to Alicante Airport on the even hours.  You could get a bus which runs down to Cartagena from the Torrevieja bus station, which will stop at La Zenia/Playa Flamenca, so you might be able to walk or get a taxi from there.  

You may prefer to just hop in a taxi at Torrevieja bus station, they are just outside.  We have used this method of getting to our home in Torre de Horadada, catch the airport bus and then the Cartagena bus and hop off at La Torre.  Quite simple to do.

Bus leaves the airport every other hour to Torrevieja ( about 7 euros), unsure of transport from Torre to Villa Martin, but maybe price up a Taxi from there. I'm not happy to take the plunge to drive yet either.

I'd never driven abroad until I bought my house in Monovar, now I actually prefer driving in Spain it's far less hassle.

Hi Pete, I've just read your post and that is so kind of you to offer me a wee practice drive around the area.  I'll be over April 17th for 5 days and then longer in the summer so if you are feeling brave enough I'll take you up on your offer. Thanks again
