If you're looking for a quick and efficient way to travel from Pozanco to Arezzo, consider flying. However, you may need to take a connecting flight either through Madrid or another major hub, such as Barcelona or Frankfurt. Once you arrive at an Italian airport, like Florence, you can take a train or bus to Arezzo.

Pro Tip: Purchase a Eurail pass if you plan to make additional trips through Europe, as it can save you money in the long run.
Taking the train, while more scenic, may take significantly longer due to transfers needed at various points, such as from Madrid to Barcelona, then connecting to Italy’s rail network.

Pro Tip: Utilise overnight buses to save on accommodation and maximize your travel time.
The bus is the most budget-friendly option, but expect lengthy travel with limited comfort.
Recommendation
For a balance of cost and convenience, I recommend flying from Pozanco to Florence via Madrid, which allows for faster travel time and efficient connections to Arezzo via train or bus. The overall journey will take around 5 to 8 hours, including transfer times and wait periods, making it the most efficient option to enjoy your travels from Spain to Italy.
