Benasque & La Besurta
     For information on transport between destinations beyond the Pyrenees and Barbastro, see Getting There & Away in the introduction to the Aragonese Pyrenees section.
      Altoaragonesa buses leave Barbastro for Benasque at 11 am and (except Sunday) 5.30 pm. Buses to Barbastro depart from Benasque at 6.45 am (except Sunday) and 3 pm.
      From Benasque up to La Besurta, buses leave at 7.30 am and 1 pm. Cars are allowed to travel beyond Hospital de Benasque and as far as La Besurta only between 8 pm and 8 am.
      In the other direction, a shuttle bus (200 ptas one way, 275 ptas return) travels the 5.5km from La Besurta to the Hospital de Benasque. In principle the service runs every 30 minutes in each direction, though the driver tends to adjust the schedule to suit his personal life. Buses departing La Besurta at 12.30, 5.30 and 7.30 pm (the last of the day) continue on to Benasque. At other times you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a lift down to town from the car park beside the lower bus terminal near the Hospital de Benasque.

Bielsa
      It is possible to join or leave the Pyrenean Traverse from Bielsa at the end of Day 16. However, public transport is limited. From Barbastro, Autocares Cortes (Tel: 974 31 15 52) runs a service to Aínsa, from where you can catch an onward connection three times a week to Bielsa. The service leaves Barbastro at 7.45 pm and Aínsa at 8.45 pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In the other direction, it sets out from Bielsa at 6 am on these same days.
      Schedules change and vary seasonally. We strongly recommend that you ring Altoaragonesa (Tel: 974 31 12 93) or the local tourist office (Tel: 974 30 83 50) for the latest information.
