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

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.

What is the physical rating of the Hiking Southern Spain tour and who can join?

The tour has a physical rating of 3, considered average. It has a minimum age requirement of 12 years, hence not suited for younger children.

What transportation options are available from Malaga to the tour start location?

The fastest transportation from Malaga to Granada would be via high-speed train, taking about an hour. A bus would be a cheaper option with more flexibility.

Being both in the cities and the small towns was our favorite part. The old buildings and narrow roads made quite an impression.

My first trip with G Adventures, was great. Andalusia is a unique place. Beautiful nature, friendly people and delicious food. It was lovely to be part of this hiking tour. I met amazing people from all over the world. Of course I have to mention our two sweet leaders. Irene and Daniel were super nice with great spirit. Definitely I'm doing this again.Show more

Amazing experience - it was my first time using G Adventures and it will certainly not be my last. I got to see parts of southern Spain I'd never thought I'd ever see (I've already been to Granada and Malaga, yet there's no way I'd ever would've seen Benalua and the caves or Canillas de Albaida and the mountains). That's the real draw, seeing places off the beaten track. Our CEO was great and the group was also fantastic. It's a great way to meet people! Overall, highly recommend.Show more
