  From Madrid

  Buses depart to Trujillo from the Estacion Sur de Autobuses (the southern bus station) with the Avanza bus company. The ride is around 3:30 hours and the cost varies from 10-20 Euros (depending on departure hour and traffic)

   

  There’s also the option to Take a train to the station Navalmoral de la Mata, and change a to a bus to Trujillo, but this is a more expensive journey and you will arrive later.

  The easiest way to Trujillo is by the same bus operator Avanza. The station from Lisbon is Lisbon Oriente to the Trujillo Bus Terminal. The journey is around 5:15 hours and the cost is between 20-27 Euros.
