Almería → Cabo de Gata: key facts

Private transfer, Almería Airport (LEI) to Cabo de Gata: the car (1–3 passengers) is €65 and the van (4–8) is €95, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 30 km on the road via AL-3115 and AL-3108; about 40 min off-peak, 40–50 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the passenger terminal at Almería Airport, just after baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

San José is the main village of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, a protected volcanic coastline of cliffs, coves and dunes about 30 km east of the airport. The route leaves the coast and crosses the flat Níjar plain on regional roads, past greenhouses and small farming villages, before winding down through the volcanic hills of the park to the bay of San José. There are no tolls. Building and traffic rules inside the park are strict, and the village keeps a low-rise, whitewashed look.

The village spreads around a sandy bay with a small marina at its southern end and a short promenade with restaurants. The well-known beaches of Los Genoveses and Mónsul lie a few kilometres south-west along an unpaved road through the park; in summer car access to them can be limited when the car parks are full. La Isleta del Moro and Los Escullos are small coastal settlements to the north-east. Most visitors come between spring and autumn for beaches, snorkelling and walking trails along the coast.

Public transport instead: Surbus bus 30 (Almería - Aeropuerto - Retamar) from Almería Airport bus stop to Almería city centre (then CTAL bus M-212 to San José) — about 35 min, 1 change. Consorcio de Transporte Metropolitano del Área de Almería bus M-212 (Almería - Hospital El Toyo - San José - La Isleta del Moro) from Almería to San José, 1 change. No direct public transport from the airport to San José; take Surbus line 30 to Almería and the metropolitan bus M-212 (Almería - Hospital El Toyo - San José - La Isleta del Moro).
