Getting to losOlivos Transfer prices to/from losOlivos (for 2016 transfers) FROM MALAGA AIRPORT (135km, 1h 40mins) – via taxi (arranged by losOlivos). Individual = €120 each way 2 people sharing = €70 each, each way 3 people sharing = €60 each, each way 4 people sharing = €50 each, each way 5 people+ sharing = €40 each, each way FROM GRANADA AIRPORT / BUS STATION (36km, 40mins) Individual = €50 each way 2 people sharing = €35 each, each way 3 people sharing = €25 each, each way 4 people sharing = €20 each, each way FROM LECRIN (TALARA VILLAGE BUS STOP) (7km, 15mins) Taxi rate = €20 each way When losOlivos arranges transfers for guests we try to group people together to keep costs down. This is normally successful for retreats/courses when people fly in/out at similar times. In order to maximise the chances of a transfer share, we only take the payment for the transfer with the balance payemnt of the stay (around 30 days before arrival). If you would like us to try to match you with a “transfer partner” let us know! To increase chances, it's a good idea to see if others have booked already and check their days/times of travel. Alternatives: 1. Car hire – Depending on the time of the year, a week will normally cost in the region of €100. This is worth investigating via www.doyouspain.com. An alternative company is http://www.malagacar.com/ who operate off airport but seem to charge less for petrol and insurance than the companies you'll see on doyouspain.com. ** N.B. Please be aware that if you are booking a hire car you will probably be asked to pay of a tank of petrol (around €60) when you arrive at the airport – you then return the car empty. You will probabaly use around half a tank getting to and from losOlivos from Malaga airport. Additionally, you will be asked if you want to take out "extra insurance", for tyres etc . .. Whether you do this is up to you. (losOlivos doesn't work with doyouspain/Malaga car in any capacity) When hiring a car in Spain it it good/necessary to bring a credit card with you, as you will probably need this to secure insurance / avoid unnecessary costs. 2. Travel from Malaga/Granada airport using public transport to the Lecrin Valley village of Talara. This costs in the region of €16 each way from Malaga, or €6 from Granada airport.
