Arrival:

Salobreña is less than an hour driving time from either the Granada airport (GRX) or the Malaga airport (AGP). Granada offers some very good-bargain European flights (see especially Vueling and Iberia). The larger Malaga airport offers more transcontinental connections and is also serviced by the major low-cost carriers (including, i.a., Vueling, Ryanair, Easyjet, Wizzair, and Norwegian). Both are connected to Salobreña by bus (see ALSA for current schedules, or ask me for help). From the Salobreña bus stop, you can walk to the apartment in about 20 minutes (or you can take a local bus or a taxi).
