Travelling Around
It is obviously easier to get around and explore if you have your own transport but it is possible by public transport. Alsina Graells run a frequent service along the coast road from Malaga to Almería, that passes through La Rabita and there is a minibus service between La Rabita and Albuñol during daylight hours. There are less frequent direct buses to Albuñol from the cities. There are buses that pass through Albuñol going to Berchules in the Alpujarras, passing through Cadiar. However, travellers with an early flight would be advised to book a pensione and a taxi in the town of the airport the night before! There are NO TAXIS in Albuñol, airport transfers can be arranged at an approximate cost of 70-100E from Almería.
