Hi! My friend and I were planning to go to the Covadonga lakes in a few days, but the buses are fully booked (yeah, we dropped the ball on planning ahead).

We intend to get to Covadonga Town at like 6am so we can park and take a taxi, but we can't find any info on the taxis or how to get *down* once we're up.

- how early do th cabs start taking people up?

- how do you get back down with a cab? Do some wait at the top?

- do we need to call the cab agencies and let them know they'll hav customers at Covadonga on that day?

And, if in the house mf we're not able to make it to the lakes:

- are there other scenic places in the general area, that are less restricted than the lakes, in terms of access? (We will explore the town I self regardless)

Thanks!

edit: wow I should've proofread better before posting. I wrote this while in the car, and had to be fast or I'd get motion sick lol. keeping the typos for posterity's sake.

Hi!

I'm mostly posting this so no one else runs into the issue my friend and I are now dealing with. Basically, we we're doing a little road trip from France to Spain and we were going to use the Alsa busses to cross the border and save some cash on the rental car fees.

Everything on the Alsa website, the bus ticket they give you, and the interactive map they provide, put the bus stop location at the side of the airport, facing a parking lot.

The actual location is the FRONT of the airport, same place as the city buses. We even did check there, but there's only a single paper sign marking Alsa's parking spot in the middle of the city bus parking lot. We missed that sign until after we saw our bus walk away.

Anyway we're still feeling a bit dumb, and it was very frustrating, but we bought tickets with a different bus company and made do.

And to make my post a little more searchable on Google: Alsa bus location for Biarritz to San Sebastian: in FRONT, with the public city buses

I've been slowly trying to upgrade my old, cheap IKEA furniture. I drive an SUV so furniture usually fits, especially if I come with screwdrivers to take the table legs off etc.

But now I'm looking for bookcases and those definitely won't fit, and I'm not sure if your average wooden bookcase can be disassembled.

Do you hold it at the thrift store and run to uhaul? Schedule the craiglist pickup with a friend with a bigger car? Trying to figure out my strategy here.

Good thrifting!
