This a customized tour for 2 or more, based in Granada – the trip starts and ends at your boutique hotel in the old city.
You will not need (or want) a car in Granada – we provide transportation for the country cooking class excursion and lead the walking and tapas tours in the city. This is a walk-able city, although for those who prefer or need to ride, rest assured it is easy to get taxis and minibuses around town (though please note these are not included in your tour price).
While we are happy to arrange a private driver transfer from the airport or train station for you (for an additional fee), we have found that taxis from the airport are practical and reasonable, there whenever you arrive. The airport is 30 minutes from the center of the old city (about 25 Euros) and the train station is in town, 10 minutes (about 8 Euros).
Enrolled participants receive background information about Granada including details about your hotel and your guide who will meet you there.
The Closest Airport
The Granada airport does not handle direct flights from the US – from most US cities you will be routed there via Madrid or Malaga. Good deals directly to Granada can be had on Vueling.com and Ryanair.com from Barcelona; SpanAir flies from more Spanish cities.
If you are on a US flight into Malaga, Granada is within easy driving distance, though a bit far for a taxi ride. Ask us about arranging a transfer for you (though this is not included in your tour price).
By Train
Granada is connected to other Spanish cities by rail – though not yet on the high speed AVE route. Schedules and tickets to Granada from various Spanish cities are available at RENFE, the Spanish railway.
Driving and Car Rentals
You will not need (or want) a car during your time in Granada. If this tour is part of a larger driving trip for you, let us know and we will provide you with driving directions for reaching your hotel. We’ll also recommend garages for parking while you are in the city.
If you are interested in renting a car for touring the region before or after your Granada experience, let us know and we can arrange it for you. We can also arrange private transportation from Granada through the region. (But please note, these arrangements are not included in the tour price.) |
