Almería International Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

Almería airport is about 8 kilometers from the city center: a 15-minute taxi ride, or the urban line 30, which connects the terminal to the center in 35 minutes every half hour. With no hotels on the airport grounds, those with a dawn flight or a night arrival can rely on this closeness to stay in the city, among the lanes of Puerta Purchena and the cathedral. Those traveling by car and preferring a simple option along the road leading to the airport, toward the Torrecárdenas hospital, find a cheaper alternative just a few minutes from the center.
