 Description: The passenger numbers at the airport have definitely increased in the last few years. Back in 2002 just under 500,000 people passed through the airport, but last year (2006) the passenger numbers had increased to 1,086,221. In Spanish the airport is known as Aeropuerto de Granada.
Granada Airport is an interesting airport to travel to and gives good access to some unknown parts of Andalucia. Apart form the City of Granada and Alhambra Palace, from here you are within easy reach of the Costa Tropical with towns such as Motril, Almunecar, Salobrena, La Herradura.
This airport also gives very easy access to Europe's southern most ski resort in the Sierra Nevada mountains and I believe that both Monarch and Ryanair have made a good move in securing routes to Granada.
If your looking for a holiday home near Granada then Medina Elvira could be the answer. Medina Elvira is set in in wonderful natural surroundings in the Atarfe Region of Granada. Easily accesible by public transport. Medina Elvira is only 10 mins away from Granada's International Airport and city, 20 mins from the Sierra Nevada Ski Resort and only 50 mins away from the beaches of Motril on Spain's Costa Tropical. |
