  • City, local or urban buses: provide service within the city limits. These buses are restricted from traveling to the suburbs or other villages, with few exceptions.

To reach areas like Alpujarra, Sierra Nevada, or Valle de Lecrín, you will need to take blue intercity buses from Granada's bus station.

Opinions about Granada Buses
Indicating all the lines
clasificacion de 4 estrellas
Overall, there are good connections, but bus drivers do not speak English.

It would be helpful to have details at the bus stops indicating all the lines that stop there. For those of us who are not from the area, it can be challenging to figure out which bus we need to take without this information.
Granada City Buses
clasificacion de 5 estrellas
The buses throughout the city are regular and reliable.

If you are in a small group or plan on using several buses consider buying a 'Bono' which is a credit sized bus card you buy on board for 2 euros and top up with a minimum of 5 euros - it reduces the cost of a bus jou
ey to just over half price and 1 card can be used for several people.

Also if you use a second bus within 45 mins you don't get charged the second time (Jacqui).
