Local airports
There are three airports within easy reach from Berchules:

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.
