day 1Join trip at Malaga Airport; public bus to Granada

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. Located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Granada is a historical gem blessed with a fusion of Spanish and Muslim art and architecture including the Alhambra Palace, the Generalife Gardens and the city's grand 16th-century cathedral. For the next two nights, we'll be staying at Hostal La Ninfa in the quieter and historic El Realejo neighbourhood. Bedrooms are en-suite, cosy and simply decorated. They have a safe, television and hairdryer and free WiFi is available. It's perfectly located, just a 10-minute walk from the Alhambra and from the city centre and just beside the hotel is the Plaza Campo del Principe, where you can find restaurants and bars to sample tapas and wine this evening. While we've packed in as many of the highlights as possible, our itinerary allows for little free time in Granada. If you'd like to discover more on your own, you might consider extending your stay for a night or two. For the next two nights, we'll stay at Hostal La Ninfa, a simple, 2-star hotel in Granada's historic heart. Rooms are simply decorated with en-suite facilities - which include toiletries and hairdryers. There is a lift, so taking your luggage to your room is easy. The hotel also has free WiFi throughout. Breakfast is included, however, it's worth noting this is a very Spanish affair! If you'd prefer a heartier breakfast, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants within a stone's throw of the hotel.
