Algeciras-Madrid train service to be suspended for at least three months

(Agencies) The Algeciras-Madrid-Algeciras train line is to be suspended for at least three months because the track between Algeciras and Bobadilla is being replaced, acording to Renfe. An alternative bus service linking Algeciras with Málaga, Ronda and/or Bobadilla will be set up. There is no firm date as to when work is to begin, but it will probably be on or around the 25th or 26th of this month.

A reader asks: "Any buses when the train stops?"

(E-mail) "Hello, sorry to trouble you but I have just happened upon your online magazine. My husband and I are coming to Andalucia in November and had planned on taking the train from Colmenar to Algeciras. Do you know if the train has ceased operating? We were going to come up to the area from Estepona by bus to Caceres, somehow travel from Caceres to Gaucin, walk from Gaucin to Colmenar and take the train to Algeciras. Do you know of any buses between Caceres and Gaucin and from Gaucin to Algeciras or Tarifa? Their websites and/or phone numbers would be of great assistance. Thank you." Our answer:>
