Citymar San Anton, Granada

Granada

Advantages: Beautiful city, good transport links.
Disadvantages: Not much English spoken by locals

To get to Granada in Andalucia, the cheapest thing to do is score a cheap flight off the internet to traditional loud-mouthed Brit destination, Malaga ;-) and then hop on a cheap as cheap can be coach down to Granada for just eight euros. To do this, simply get on the number 19 bus at Malaga airport, which will take you to the bus station, then ask at the ticket office for Granada. Very easy. Once in Granada, a number of options are open to you. Sta travel (evil swines) will tell you there are no hostels in Granada, and will sell you one for Madrid (thanks guys). Run a mile, and when you get to Granada, just hop in a taxi and say "una hostal, por favor". They will cost around fifteen euros per night and are sufficient for your needs.

Review of St Anton (Austria)

Granada on a Budget

Advantages: Picturesque and Cheap
Disadvantages: Road Works

Granada ! where is that I hear you ask. Well go onto Ryan Air website and now book a return ticket direct !. One of the most brilliant jewels of universal architecture is the Alhambra, a series of palaces and gardens built under the Nazari Dynasty in the 14th C.
