Does anyone know the best and cheapest way to get from Murcia (Los Alcazares) to Costa Del Sol

We would like to go there for a week whilst out in spain next I dont think they fly from San Javier airport but Alicante is not far from us??

Why not drive down, it will be a lot cheaper and only take you a few hours.

Hi I did think about that but thought it may be a bit of a trek. Would it be mostly motorways or would it need a lot of navigation?

I am not so good at driving abroad and the motorways just seem to branch off and if you go wrong you cant get back on.

Maybe i will have to get the sat nav for europe from my mum and dad

Go to Michelin Route Guide, and put in your exact departure point and your destination. I put Murcia to Malaga Airport and its 409km and it would take you just about 4 hours and its mainly motorways. Murcia -Granada-Malaga. Michelin Route planner is brilliant.

Hi Hevs

You'd spend longer going by plane than driving (what with the early check in etc)......and actually it's a very easy drive and with your sat nav you could stop off on route if you felt like it......

BTW another option is by train from Catagena .....or Coach.....

I wouldn't want to argue with the Michelin guide, but most people I know prefer the new coastal motorway Murcia, Almeria, Malaga. I haven't tried it but it's supposed to be better than via Granada..anyone done it?

Hevs, from Alcazares, you can go via Cartagena and pick up the motorway to Almeria at Vera.
