You can catch the bus labeled 'Dorado - San Juan' which should take you to the central bus terminal in San Juan. Once you arrive at the bus terminal, exit and look for the 'Sagrado Corazón' train station nearby. Take the train towards 'Bayamón' and get off at 'Santurce' station. From there, you can either walk or take a local bus towards 'Old San Juan'. Walk towards C. de San Sebastián, where El Bastión is located.
