Spain's capital city of Madrid is bursting with culture and activities, with museums, art galleries and more bars per square metre than anywhere else in Europe!

Madrid Airport is about 400km from Bilbao, Easyjet and Ryanair have flights from Gatwick, Luton, Liverpool, Manchester and Bristol, and we aim to coincide our coach times with arrivals from the UK.

If you are planning on exploring the city of Madrid before or after the festival, then there are buses leaving from the airport every 10 minutes, the journey takes 30 mins and costs about €2.50.

Madrid - Bilbao - Madrid

The journey from Madrid – Bilbao takes approximately 5 hours each way.

Wednesday 11th – from 6pm to 6am the following the morning
From 8am in the morning on Thursday 12th until 3.00pm on Sunday 15th
