What We Offer

The nearest international airports are Malaga airport, Almeria airport, and Granada airport all approximately an hour and a half away by road. 

If you want to hire a car, We recommend Crown Hire (Tel: +34 952176486) or Carjet.co.uk if you book online. Click here to book at Almeria airport  here to book at Granada airport or here to book at Malaga airport online.

Driving from Malaga you need to follow the N340 towards Motril and Almeria. The motorway takes you beyond Nerja where the scenic Costa Tropical really begins. After La Herradura, Almuņecar, and Salobreņa, the road passes Motril and the small resorts of Torrenueva and Calahonda before reaching Castell de Ferro. 

From Almeria airport, follow the same N340 motorway heading west towards Motril and Malaga. The motorway extends to Adra at present and from here the coastal route to Castell de Ferro is straightforward.

Air conditioned coaches also run between Malaga and Almeria airports throughout the day. Most of these stop at Castell de Ferro, but some terminate at Motril.

We generally meet new guests in the village plaza in Castell de Ferro to guide them up to Cortijo Vacas Gordas (it's not so easy to find the first time!)

If you prefer not to hire a car or use the public transport services, we can pick you up from the airport for an additional fee.
