Motril to Granada

[GiGiGi]

We are considering a 2012 trip with a stop at Granada (Motril). I would be interested in the distance between the two and what the best form of transportation would be.

Thank you for any information you might have.

Motril's an unusual port-of-call.

But as handy as you can get for Granada.

By road its about 40 miles / 45 minutes on the A44, a good, fast & quiet autoroute, attractive route under the shadow of the Sierra Nevada - you can see the year-round snow on the peaks.

If you're aiming for the Alhambra, it's only a short distance from the A44 & before you reach the city. But you do need to buy timed tickets in advance - without them you can only look round the gardens & the castle.

Sorry, don't know if there's a rail route.

I had never heard of Motril! Did a little research and found out there is no train between the two , but there is frequent bus service on Alsa, http://www.alsa.es . It looks to be around 1hr 15 min by bus.
