By Plane

2005 overheadBefore booking your flight take a minute to consider travelling overland to the festival. Travelling overland you see the changing countryside unfolding and really experience the journey. If you have the time to spend it's generally better for the environment.

There are a large number of flights daily to Granada and Malaga from many European cities. Please see Getting There By Plane for more details

The festival is 45 mins from Granada Airport and 90 minutes from Malaga Airport by car. Both airports have a large range of car hire companies. We recommend Auriga Crown car hire who are offering a discount for Rocket festival goers.

There will be a Rocket Shuttle from Granada Airport and Malaga Airport
to Alhama de Granada and return which will run on certain specific
times to coincide with flights to and from the UK. The bus will only
cater for the popular flights. If you want to use the Rocket Shuttle,
please register with this website, login and enter your arrival and departure times in the travel info section of your account. The Rocket Shuttle will cost around 5€ from Granada and 10€ from Malaga.

Please note: We will endeavour to provide buses for the majority of people flying into Malaga and Granada from the UK but we can't guarantee an appropriate bus for your flight.

We will post the bus timetable on this page by the middle of April.
This gives you plenty of time to find alternative travel options such
as local buses or car hire.

Festival goers may also choose to fly to other airports in Spain and organise their own transport to the site .
