Andalusian cities you can reach via air include Granada, Jerez de la Frontera, Málaga, and Seville. The region's main airport is in Seville, 7 km (3 mi) east of the city on the A4/E5 highway to Córdoba. There's a bus from the airport to the center of Seville every half hour on weekdays (6:30 AM-8 PM), and every hour on weekends and holidays. It costs EUR 2.10 one-way. Taxi fare from the airport to the city center is about EUR 22. The smaller Aeropuerto de Jerez is 7 km (4 mi) northeast of Jerez on the road to Seville. There's no public transport into Jerez; you will need to take a taxi (approximately EUR 22). Málaga Airport is one of Spain's major hubs (especially for travelers from other European countries) and therefore a possible access point for Granada, Córdoba, and Almería. (These cities are approximately two hours apart by car.)

In Granada, J. González buses (EUR 3) run between the center of town and the airport, leaving every 30 minutes from the Palacio de Congresos, and making a few other stops along the way to the airport. Times are listed at the bus stop; service is reduced in winter. Line 14 (950/221422) municipal bus service (EUR 1) operates between the airport and the city center with buses every 30 minutes.
