ARRIVAL CHECKLISTBefore leaving Federico García Lorca Granada–Jaén Airport
Federico García Lorca Granada–Jaén Airport (GRX) is west of Granada, near Chauchina and Santa Fe. It is a useful nearby airport for Sierra Nevada, but it is not at the mountain resort. Alsa’s airport bus serves Granada, including the main bus station, where Autocares Tocina provides the separate Sierra Nevada service. Pradollano is the accommodation and lift village; Granada city and the high mountain summit are not equivalent transfer destinations. There is no airport train to the pistes. Compare a direct road pickup with the two-stage bus journey and check the last mountain coach before choosing a late flight.
- The A-395 climbs steeply from Granada to Pradollano. Check current road access and required winter equipment. Upper-village accommodation may need another uphill local ride after the main coach arrives.
- Confirm the terminal, hotel address and ski luggage before booking.
- Keep enough time between landing and a fixed onward departure.
