    Asked on January 21st, 2026

    Please advise on meeting point in Granada.

    Flights / Transfers
    • Explore!Operator•Written January 2026

      Our tour starts today at Malaga Airport (AGP), from where we'll travel as a group to our first stop, Granada.

      We'll gather at the meeting point at 15.45pm and take either a direct bus from the airport or a train into Malaga followed by a bus to Granada (a two-hour journey). The latest your flight can arrive is 15.15pm.

      If your flight choice doesn't fit with our meeting time, you might prefer to travel to Granada by yourself. There are regular buses from both Malaga Airport and Malaga bus station, please ask us for additional joining information to plan your journey. If you're planning to travel to the hotel solo, remember to inform us so we're not expecting you at the airport.

    How is the luggage handled if taking a public bus?

    Transport
    • Explore!Operator•Written November 2022

      Luggage: On tour one main piece of baggage and daypack. Remember you are expected to carry your own luggage so don't overload yourself. We use public transport for the majority of this tour, so it is essential that you are able to carry your bag on and off of the trains and buses.
