Here is information about buses to and from Logroño (in general buses are more frequent, cheaper and just as fast as trains). See table 1 for buses to and from Logroño and other villages of La Rioja, including Laguardia; table 2 for buses to and from Logroño and other villages of La Rioja, including Haro, Nájera and Santo Domingo de la Calzada; and table 3 for buses to and from Logroño and other cities, including Bilbao, Madrid, San Sebastián and Zaragoza. Underlined times indicate that the bus goes on the highway; otherwise, it goes through villages (and takes longer). Note: "Salidas de" = "Departures from".

There are airport buses between the airports and city centres. The bus to and from Zaragoza airport leaves from a number of places in Zaragoza, including the bus/train station. It runs every half hour, and it takes about 15-20 minutes. Here are the timetables for the airport bus in Bilbao (Bilbao - Airport / Airport - Bilbao). If you are going through Madrid, the bus to/from Logrono is at the bus station located at the metro station called Avenida de Americas. You can take the metro to/from the airport, but there is also a bus to/from the airport. It leaves from the level beneath the level where the Logrono bus arrives (ask at the information desk), and it costs one euro. There are two buses: one for terminals 1, 2 and 3 (bus no. 200) and one for the other terminals. It will say "aeropuerto" at the front of the bus.
