At Terminal 1 exit the airport building and turn left. (You can also walk inside the building along the corridor). Go after the BUS PARKING / Parking
In front of you there are two lanes for buses and taxis. You take the last passenger zebra and cross the street towards the parking lot. The parking lot is divided in two zones, something you cannot perceive at this point: the right section is for cars only, and the left section is for buses (the two sections are divided by a partition and do not communicate). You need to walk towards the left end and take the special entry. The buses parking there belong to different companies. You need to look for Avanzabus which is white with red stripes. The bus will be parked only 10 minutes ahead of departure time.
At Terminal 4 Try to walk within the airport building toward its furthest left end (keeping the building at your back and facing the street) and take the exit marked with a bus sign. You will walk out onto the street and cross the taxi lane. On your left you will see a sign for buses. There are 4-5 stands where different buses from different companies can stop. The sign mentions “Bus & Fly” and “ALSA”. This is the stop pf your company, too, Avanzabus. Buses are white and red. They will not arrive in advance, but will stop only at the announced time since they are coming on their way from Terminal 1 picking up passengers.
