Arriving by air
There are flights between Granada airport and other Spanish cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Valencia, but there are few international flights.

The nearest international airport is Malaga Airport. There are coaches from Malaga to Granada every one or two hours, and the journey takes around 1h30’-1h45’. We recommend the ALSA Supra coaches as they are faster, more comfortable and a snack is provided.

You can buy a ticket at www.aena.es. The ticket costs between 7 and 14 euros (buying onlinemay cost 2-3 euros more because of commission). The last bus to Granada is at 21:30 so if your flight arrives later than that then you will have to spend the night in a hotel in Malaga or take a taxi to Granada (the taxi fare would be approximately 170 euros or more).

Arriving by coach
Granada is well connected by bus with Madrid, all the major cities of Andalusia and most cities on the Mediterranean coast. There are also daily regional buses to the villages located near Granada. More information on city buses and intercity coaches.
