Funicular de Bulnes, Asturias, Spain
3.0 (285 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Cabrales Municipality Taxis & Shuttles
Good service, bad Alsa app.
Alsa indicates you can’t purchase tickets at the location, wrong!!! So I tried using their app. After three attempts, not been able to pay and re-entering All information requested We got our tickets. Once at the entry site, with very limited parking, you take a 2 plus kilometers ride to the village on top. Nothing to see during the ride since you are in a tunnel.

Great afternoon
Yes, it's not cheap, but it is good. The funicular itself is quite fun in its own way, but the village at the top is the main attraction. Not much there except for some bars and restaurants, with some good walks, and some great views, but that's why people go - great! Where else can you go to see a village with no road access that is half way up a mountain?

Engineering marvel but not sure why they built it! And path not for vertigo sufferers
The tunnel through the mountains is an engineering marvel for sure but the village at the top (Bulnes) was perhaps no more interesting than many other isolated mountain villages we had visited by car. The mountain scenery is utterly magical however and the views all around are really special and very photogenic. The biggest mistake I made was trying to walk down the path. I don't like drops from narrows paths and part way down all my nightmares came true! The path is always two-people wide but there are lots of sheer drops from the edge and the only way I could complete the walk was to literally look at my feet and be guided by my long-suffering wife. If you suffer similarly, I'd suggest using the funicular railway for the return trip and save yourself an hour of torment...
