All Details

Arriving

We suggest that you arrive at least one day prior to the start of the Andalucia bike tour, which will enable you to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the trip start due to flight-related delays.

To reach Granada, the nearest and largest international airport is Málaga (AGP), which offers multiple flights, including connections from New York (EWR) and Montreal (YUL) as well as several daily connections with major European airports. If you have time, we recommend saving one day to enjoy Malaga city center and at least a day and a half to discover Granada and its gems. We suggest using public transportation to get to Granada, with the bus being a faster option than the train.

From Málaga bus station, you can catch a bus to Granada bus station, which takes approximately 90 to 110 minutes and costs around 15€ for a one-way ticket. Alternatively, there are direct buses from Málaga airport to Granada bus station, taking around 2 hours 30 minutes, and costing between 14€ for a one-way ticket.

The most direct and comfortable way to reach Granada is by taking a taxi from Málaga airport. Head to the taxi rank and negotiate the price with the driver. You can expect to pay around 150€.

Another option is to fly directly to Granada’s airport (GRX) from Madrid (MAD), Barcelona (BCN), Paris (ORY) or London Gatwick (LGW) although connections here are more limited. From the airport, take a taxi or the public bus outside the arrivals level and transfer to the center of Granada.

Before and After Your Trip

before

Before: Granada, Spain

Arrive early to explore the vibrant city of Granada. Filled with great restaurants and bars, it is also most famous for the Alhambra citadel, an impressive Moorish fortress with grand archways and delicate ornamental mosaics. Wander through this enchanting city and step backward in time as you explore the cobblestone streets to discover Islamic architecture, monumental churches, and a feast of Spanish tapas bars nestled among Arab style street life. Consider using Granada as a hub from which to take day trips to Málaga, Gibraltar, nearby coastal towns, and perhaps even Morocco. We recommend the following accommodations for your pre-trip hotel:

after

After: Sevilla, Spain

The capital of Andalucia is beautiful Sevilla, a thriving city full of historical significance and modern life. The grand Cathedral and the exquisite Real Alcázar Palace are not to be missed. Visit the Museo del Baile Flamenco to learn the history of this gorgeous and popular music and dance. Enjoy an endless choice of tapas bars, making sure to hit the Santa Cruz and Alfalfa neighborhoods. Be sure to take a stroll along the top of the Parasol Metropol at sunset, a contemporary sculptural building within the old city where you can take in the views from above as well as the archeological finds below.
