These are your options for getting down to the wedding. Flying will be by far the easiest, quickest and cheapest but if you’ve got the time and fancy a bit of a road trip then you could drive it. My Dad is doing it, you could try and hitch a lift with him! It’s a long drive but you can take it easy and stopover in some cool places in France…. pop in on Myles in the south of France then go visit Silja in Barcelona on your way down! If you do fancy it then check out viamichelin.co.uk for routes. It will tell you how much it will cost you in tolls and fuel and even give you ideas of places to stay on the way. Or get a camper and wing it.
We’ve been checking and it looks like Malaga is the best airport to head to. Granada is also close but flights there are a lot more expensive. You should be able to get a flight to Malaga for about £100 from London or Birmingham or from within Europe, maybe a little less if you’re lucky. Try Monarch, Easyjet, BA, BMIBaby or Ryanair.
If you’re coming from New Zealand, you need to fly to London first and then get a cheap flight to Malaga, as above. Make sure you make it home in time for Rugby World Cup kick-off!
If you are coming from South Africa, check out options for either flying to London, and then get a cheap flight to Malaga (as above). Or check out the options for flying direct to Madrid or Barcelona, and then get a cheap internal flight or train to Malaga or Granada.
If you’re coming from America, tell us! That would be awesome if some of our pals made it. If you’re coming from Peru, you must be a wedding crasher because we didn’t invite anyone from Peru.
We think the nicest way and definitely the best way for the environment is to catch a train. It will take a couple of days to get down there and will cost in the region of £200-300. You can use loco2 (http://www.loco2.co.uk/) to help you book everything. The only drawback is that you can’t book European rail travel more than 3 months in advance.
There’s the ferry option too but it’s pretty pricey (£800 for two people + car). Why bother?
You will defo need a car in Spain to get around. Try these guys:
Send us an email if you need any more info on travel options or if you want to set up some kind of hire car share arrangement.
