A new bus route.

Many months ago,  more than we can remember,  a bus stop appeared in Yátor.  But that was it,  no notices,  no time table,  nothing.  Until last week that is.  When  we came back from the mechanic,  John stopped so I could check the mail box and he pulled in by the empty bus stop,  that's when we saw this...




and at the end of the pista there is another notice..



which says "forbidden to stop and park .....due to new bus route"

From Yátor to Granada bus station is about 1 hour 30 by car,  about 25 euros return in fuel.  The bus as you can see takes over 3 hours,  then 4 hours later you have to get the bus back.  Unless  you are staying  overnight  in which case it's good value.  The bus is 8 euros per person each way,  so 32 euros return for 2 of us,  but parking for a 24 hour stay in the city centre  can easily cost 20 euros.  Add that to the petrol and the bus makes sense.

Will we try it?  Not sure.  The nice thing about going by car is the flexibility  and ease of shopping.  The bus station is a little way out of the centre and not that close to the big stores we go to on our occasional overnight stays. 

Options though -  that's what it gives us all.
