On leaving the airport,
you will be filtered directly on to the motorway, (A92) -
turn right, in the direction of Granada, NOT Malaga! On reaching
the motorway, keep in the right-hand lane as it will almost
immediately filter off to the right - signed "Santa Fe" &
"Sierra Nevada".
From here continue along the dual-carriageway
past Santa Fe, a set of traffic lights at a crossroads, (with
a BP petrol station set back to the lft), and ultimately reaching
the Granada bypass motorway with clear signs to Sierra Nevada
highlighted in brown.
Leave the airport, initially following
directions to Motril along the N340. A short while afterwards
whilst rounding Malaga city, take the turnoff for Antequera
onto the N331. From here the road winds up through the Malaga
hills and after several miles, as you climb to a brow, there
are clear signs to Granada branching off onto the A359 and
then the A92.
NOTE: Look out
for the slip road just after passing the Granada airport turnoff.
This is signed to "Santa Fe" and "Sierra Nevada".
See the final paragraph under diretions
from Granada airport for the remaining directions...
Take the A92 following signs to Antequera
and Granada. Avoid taking the N-IV to Cordoba! Once you have
reached Antequera continue folloiwng signs for Granada.
See the "NOTE"
section under directions from Malaga airport for the remainder
of the journey.
Look for signs to Arcos de la Frontera
on the A382. This will take you via Olvera and Campillos before
reaching Antequera from where there are clear signs to Granada.
See the "NOTE"
section under directions from Malaga airport for the remainder
of the journey.
NOTE: From Cadiz the most direct and
fastest route would be to take the motorway to Jerez and following
the above directions rather than following the coastal road
via Gibraltar, Marbella and Malaga. This will add approximately
another 20 minutes to the journey time. The coastal route
mentioned would take approximately 4.5 - 5 hours depending
on the traffic which can get congested at times.
Follow signs to Murcia from where
it is signed to Granada and Almeria along the N340.
Follow the road past Lorca and Puerto Lumbreras until the
motorway splits. Keep right following signs to Granada. DO
NOT go to Almeria! You will now be on the A92 which will take
you directly to Granada via Guadix.
NOTE: Once you
approach Granada you will need to take the Granada/Jaen turnoff.
Take care here as it is a split junction and comes upon you
quickly if you are not paying close attention. The first slip
road heads on to Jaen whilst the second, (some 100 metres
on), goes to Granada.
From here you will be taken onto the
Granada bypass from where there are plenty of signs to Sierra
Nevada.
The N340 motorway is clearly signed
to Granada and Almeria. Follow the directions given under
the Alicante section.
Follow the motorway north in the direction
of Guadix. From here there are clear directions to Granada
on the A92.
Follow the remaining directions as
detailed under "NOTE"
in the Alicante section above.
Follow signs to the N-IV heading via
Valdepeñas. Shortly after passing the very windy section
through the "Despeñaperros" national park,
which marks the boundary into Andalucia, you will approach
Bailen. Here, keep a lookout for the turnoff to Jaen and Granada
on the N323, (Autovia de Sierra Nevada). Be careful not to
continue on to Córdoba!
From here, follow signs directly into
Granada from where you will find clear signs to Sierra Nevada.
