Local airports

There are three airports within easy reach from Berchules:

Almería, a small international airport with easy access, good parking and a fairly quick plane-to-terminal time. At less than two hours drive from Berchules it is the easiest option but there are not many flights.

Granada, (Federico García Lorca Granada-Jaén) is small; access and parking are good; there is a very good BA connection with London City airport and good connections to other Spanish airports. The journey between the airport and the hotel takes just under two hours.

Málaga airport is now less than two and a half hours driving from the hotel. It is one of Spain's busiest and there are connections with almost every major European city plus some direct inter-continental flights.
