Getting Here by Bus
Only two bus lines stop at the venue: 251a (Crevillent – Elche – Torrellano – Alicante) and 251b (Torrellano – Alicante), both operated by Vectalia / Elx Rodalia. The stop is called IFA and, according to IFA – Fira Alacant, it is located inside the venue itself during trade-fair weekends.
Saturday 15 August is a public holiday in Spain (Assumption / Misteri d'Elx). That is why the Sunday and public-holiday timetable applies on both 15 and 16 August, with considerably fewer services than on a working day. The Saturday and Sunday tables are identical.

Important notice
Information without guarantee. These timetables were compiled in good faith from the official, public schedules of Vectalia / Elx Rodalia and from information provided by IFA – Fira Alacant (retrieved: 11/08/2026). The operation of the bus lines is not run by us and is outside our control. We therefore cannot guarantee that the departure and arrival times shown will be met. Last-minute changes, delays, cancellations or modifications by the operator are possible.
Please check your connection yourself before travelling at elxrodalia.vectalia.es (lines 251a / 251b and 250) or at alicante.vectalia.es (line C-6), or by phone with Vectalia: 965 42 42 42 / 900 10 16 39.
The times for the IFA stop are calculated from the adjacent Torrellano stop, since the operator does not publish them separately: allow for a ±2 minute difference and be at the stop a few minutes early.
No extension or reinforcement of the service is planned for ICONS 2026: the regular timetable shown above applies.
