    Claire

    Asked on May 21st, 2024

    tell me about transportation means to and from Malaga i'll be departing from that location; will i need hotel staying overnight

    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written May 2024

      The fastest option to get you from Malaga to Grenada would be on their high-speed train. It takes roughly an hour. You could also explore taking a bus which would be a cheaper option with more flexibility as more buses depart on the daily. At the end of the tour, leaving from Canillas de Albaida to get back to Malaga would be by bus or by taxi. You are free to depart ay anytime on the final day of the tour so you might not need to arrange an extra night accommodation if you can get to Malaga in time. If the flights only leave earlier in the day, it may be advisable to get a hotel in Malaga for an extra night and fly the following day.
