CARTAGENA BUS AND TRAIN STATION
Both are located in the centre of the city (estación de autobuses and estación de RENFE
if you want to look those up in the map). Habaneros Hotel is very close (5 minutes walk
distance), although Alfonso XIII, Carlos III and student residence (20 minutes walk),
and Cartagonova (30 minutes) are also close. Due to the luggage you will be carrying,
taxi is recommended except for Los Habaneros Hotel.
