routes to FOUNTAINHEAD from the region's airports
Malaga - Casabermeja - Riogordo 40 mins transfer by road
Advantages: Malaga is the closest airport and has the most flight options. Easy to visit the city centre.
Access to the city centre is quick albeit busy at some times of the day. It is possible with an early or late flight to take a half day to explore this great city or to visit the Picasso museum before journeying on.
Granada - Loja - Archidona - Casabermeja - Riogordo 1hr 15mins transfer by road
Advantages: Easy access to small un-crowded airport and short transfer. No need to go into city centre to visit the Alhambra.
The roads are less busy than the coast. A good option for clients wishing to extend their stay to visit the Alhambra (Granada) and or the Mesquita in Cordoba.
Jerez - Arcos - Ronda - Antequera - Casabermeja - Riogordo 2hrs 30 mins transfer by road
Advantages: Often cheaper flights, quiet inland roads through lovely countryside.
Visit Jerez with its bodegas and horses…a busy town! Visit Ronda and its many museums including the lovely but little known Museo Peinado which houses many of the artists work
A bit further to travel but it’s a lovely drive along quiet country roads through the sierra de Grazalema National park.
Seville - Arahal - Estepa - Antequera - Casabermeja - Riogordo 2hr 40mins transfer by road
Advantages. Combine two great extremes, the big cultural city and wild andalucia.
We recommend extending your stay by at least two nights to visit its sights....and get a good map. Once out of town the roads journeying east are quiet passing many picturesque towns and villages.
Almeria - Guadix - Loja - Casabermeja - Riogordo 3hr transfer by road
Advantages: The journey alone is worth it, often very cheap flights
The journey takes you through Almeria’s desert landscapes and up past the cave dwellings in Guadix. The road all the way is fast and not terribly busy. The other advantage is that the airfares here are often very cheap. A good option for clients wishing to see these dramatic landscapes and for those wishing to extend their visit to include the Cabo de Gata-Nijar National park.
Gibraltar - Marbella - Malaga - Riogordo 2hr 30mins transfer by road
Advantages: A good option for clients wishing to combine a stay on the coast with a weekend in the country.
We recommend a stay en route in Marbella for sheer contrast, fabulous hotels and nightlife or a visit to Malaga for an unspoilt earthy taste of Andalucian life.
