Where is Galera?

Galera lies in the province of Granada, in the Andalucian part of Southern Spain, on the A330, which runs

from the excellent A92 dual carriageway running between Granada and Murcia. Galera is about 30km north

of  Baza, the nearest major city to be found on most maps of Spain. Galera is about midway between the

beautiful city of Granada and Murcia both about 150km distance.

Galera is about two hours drive, on very good dual carriageway, from the airports of Malaga, Alicante and Almeria . There are also international airports at Murcia which is around 1 hour 45 minutes away, and Granada which is around 1 hour 30 minutes away.

A new major international airport is under construction to the west of Murcia and was scheduled for completion in late 2005. The new Murcia airport will be running low cost charter flights to many UK airports and will be around one hours drive, on excellent roads from Galera.

Granada airport is now international and accepting Ryanair flights from Stanstead, East Midlands and Liverpool airports & Monarch flights from Gatwick. Galera is around one and a half hours away from the airport, again on excellent roads.
