ARRIVING INTO GRANADA
By Plane:
Granada's Santa Fé Airport (located about 16km west of the city near the small town of Santa Fédoes) does not accept international flights. To arrive in Granada by air, you would have to fly into another major Spanish city and pre-arrange for a connecting flight to Granada Santa Fé. The ride takes about 20 minutes to the school from Granda airport.
The flight from Madrid to Granada is approximately 45 minutes. The flight from Barcelona is approximately 1 hour in duration. The nearest international airport to Granada is in Malaga.
Arrival at Malaga airport:
The best way to get from Malaga to Granada is to take a bus. First you will have to catch a bus from the airport to the main bus station in Malaga, and from there you will have to change buses for Granada. There is a bus departing every hour from 7am until 9pm (except 8pm).
By Train:
If arriving into Granada by train, the station in Granada is fairly central and is on Avenida de Andaluces off Avenida de la Constitución. Granada is not on a high-speed line. If you are taking the train from Madrid's Atocha Station, please note that most of the Talgo trains to Granada depart from a platform used by the local trains (cercanias). The Talgo takes about 5.5 hours from Madrid. Sevilla is 4 hours away by train.
