Alsa buses are located on Floor 2 – see the photo below of the bus stop, which is easily findable at the end of the airport.

- For individuals or couples: we recommend arranging your transport to Javea before the trip, using either the Beniconnect shuttle bus or bus services from Alsa, or renting a car, as these will be far more cost-effective options than private transfers or taxis.
- For families and small groups: we suggest renting a car for your trip, or looking into private transfer services which take you directly to your accommodation to make it a convenient and comfortable journey.
