I'm guessing that you are talking about getting to Playa Blanca from the Airport.
If so, then it's a little tricky. You could get a Taxi as far the Biosfera Centre in Puerto del Carmen and a bus from there or get the number 22 or 23 bus to Arrecife and then a bus from Arrecife to Playa Blanca.

Otherwise you would be jaywalking along a particularly dangerous stretch of road to try to cross over to the other side at Playa Honda.

In my opinion, the best option is to book an Airport transfer:

In a word NO. You will need to get a bus to the old town or Playa Honda to pick the bus to PB up.

I stay in Matagorda and I catch the number 2 from Matagorda to the Biosfera, and then the number 6 from the Biosfera to Playa Blanca.

Hope that helps

sorry, the Biosfera is the shopping centre next door to the big post office, in between the new town (PDC) and the Old Town

Hiya MM
As Gilly says, the Biosfera is on the edge of the old and new town PDC; at the top of Calle Juan Carlos.
Directly outside of the Biosfera you'll see some steps, just stand at the bottom of them, as that is where the buses pick up/drop off. The last time I was over there was a timetable on the wall just to the left of the steps.
Just one little word of caution, as I'm unsure of "which" day you'll be taking a trip to PB ? The buses are quite regular in the weektime, but on a Sunday it's quite a limited service.
It generally takes 35-45 minutes to get to PB, but its a lovely ride, plus there's some brilliant scenery.
Hope this helps
Mick

Sean seems to recall it being just under €3 return each when he went in the summer. That was from outside the biosphera to PB and back to biosphera.

Hope that helps
