[mikeinspain]

Hello all,
Can anyone give me information on how to travel from Bobadilla to Martos , I dont drive however someone told me it is very close by so are there taxis at Bobadilla, is Bobadilla a big place. Is it easy to get from Bobadilla to Martos or any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

I hope the Bobadilla you mention is the one called La Bobadilla, just north of Alcaudete. If so take the 316 north east towards Jaen and Martos is the first big town you come to, best guess about 10 Kms. If it is the Bobadilla just to the west of Antequera that is a different story.

Thanks for your reply, it is I assume bobadilla you mention it is close to the A316 north of Alcaudete. However on my map it does not say La Bobadilla. I see a train departs from Malaga Renfe and stops at bobadilla and im hoping its this one whereby I can get off the train and then find a taxi to Martos. I hope that is clearer. Thank you for you prompt reply.Mike

Mike. I think the train stop at Bobadilla from Malaga is the wrong one for you. From memory ( which has been known to fail ) the one nearer Malaga is the only one with a rail link.

Hi Mike,
There are two Bobadilla on the Malaga line one near Antequera and the other near Granada.
The Bobadilla near the A316 no longer has trains going thru, the line has been converted to the "Via Verde" a walking route thru Jaen province.

How do you look up another member other than clicking on their name on an existing post. What if they only post spasmodicaly and you can't find one.

hiya Mike in Spain....yes there are two Bobadilla ( I dont live too far away from the one in Martos) its about a ten minute drive Bobadilla to Martos however Taxis are few and far between up here you would have to ask a local for a number of a taxis company.

To see where the trains go in Andalucia look at

http://www.renfe.es/mediadistancia/mapa_andalucia.html

which, unfortunately for you, shows that the Bobadilla that the train goes to is not the one near Martos. It'll be a long taxi ride and cost a lot!

IMHO if planning to use trains it'd be better to get to Jaen and get a taxi from there. Or, have you looked into buses? There seems to be a better network of them. I know the bus from Alcala la Real to Jaen goes through Martos. and I'm sure there are buses from Malaga to Granada and Granada to Alcala la Real - this may even be the one that goes on to Jaen

Good luck
