Could anyone tell me about Almeria and Murcia?

Question

could anyone tell me about Almeria and Murcia,example how far are they from airports.

What is local transport like and how far from the coast are we when we are there, Do they have any nice hostels

Answer 1

Much of Murcia's charms come from the region being off the beaten track - at least as far as mass tourism is concerned. But even so, it is remarkably easy to get to and to get around.

See http://www.spain4uk.co.uk/places/murcia.... for more detals

Answer 2

Almeria airport is approx 5 miles from the centre of Almeria

Airlines Serving Airport: Aer Lingus, Air Berlin, Air Europa, Condor, Easyjet, Finnair, First Choice Airways, FlyBE, HapagFly, Iberia, LTU Int´l, Monarch, MyTravel, Ryanair, Spanair

Local bus line 14 links the airport with the city centre, the fare price being 0,70. There are busses every half-hour in the daytime and every 45 minutes in the evening. Taxis are available to take you into the city centre.  Car hire is available, the major companies Avis and Europcar are available.

These sites give reports of the hotels there

Murcia Airport

Murcia-San Javier Airport (IATA: MJV, ICAO: LELC) is a military air base and civilian passenger airport located in San Javier, 17 miles south of Murcia, Spain. It is operated by Aena (Aeropuertos Espaoles y Navegacin Area, or Spanish Airports and Aereal Navigation), the Spanish airport authority.

The Murcia airport can receive airplanes up to the size of Boeing 757 or 767. It has been declared fire category 5 by the IATA, and it has one ambulance available. Because Murcia is a popular destination for charter groups, the airport is flown by a number of charter airlines.

Over the last few years, Murcia Airport has become busier, thanks to the arrival of several low-cost airlines.

Flying to Murcia-San Javier from somewhere like the UK gives one the choice of six airlines offering regular, scheduled flights from 11 different UK airports. In addition to some of the airlines mentioned below you can also fly to Murcia on Easyjet, Flybe, jet2.com and Ryanair. Although Murcia Airport is on the Costa Calida it lends itself well to people traveling to the southern tip of the Costa Blanca, particularly resort towns such as Torrevieja.

Again these sites will give you reports of the hotels there

Hi

  Almeria has its own airport, literally 10 minutes from the town. As with Murcia local transport is excellent, you can easily find the bus station and point ( if you don't speak Spanish) at where you want to go and they will either tell you where the timetable is or again point.

  Murcia town is very historic and about 15 minutes drive from the city, as well as the buses trains are a good way of getting round Spain. There is a train station in Murcia not sure if you can get between Almeria and Murcia but I know it goes to Totana. The Spanish have a web site for hostels, saw it when I was last over but sorry didn't write it down.

  Both cities are well worth a visit my favourite is Murcia.
