ALSA Málaga Faro recent customer reviews
The bus didn’t have the ALSA brand on the side of the bus but it had a small sign on the front side among two other names. It took us some time before we found out that this bus was the actual one.

I arrived at the bus station in Malaga 45 minutes before departure. I confirmed the platform with the lady at the ALSA counter. She confirmed platform 8. I waited at Platform
8 from 30 minutes before departure until 30 minutes after departure. I then went to ask the lady what the status of the bus arrival was, when she informed me that the bus left on time. The bus did not leave from Platform 8. I was forced to get a 500 euro taxi to Faro.

The pick up information and location was very confusing. There was no sign that the bus would come to the ALSA bus hut. I was told to arrive early, but there was no staff and the bus showed up exactly at the departure time.
