Hotel Claude
Getting there
- Planes The nearest airport is Málaga (AGP), served by British Airways, EasyJet and Aer Lingus. It’s within a 30-minute drive of Hotel Claude. The taxi fare should cost less than €70; alternatively, one-way transfers can be arranged by the hotel for between €65 and €75. It’s a slightly longer drive – about an hour – from Gibraltar Airport (GIB).
- Trains The hotel is 60km, or 30 minutes’ drive, from Málaga’s Maria Zambrano station, which connects the city to Barcelona and Madrid. The hotel offers a transfer service to and from the station, priced between €80 and €90 for a one-way journey. There’s also a direct bus route from Málaga to Seville.
- Automobiles Private parking near the hotel costs roughly €20 for 24 hours; if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to nab a parking spot in the street outside the hotel. Car hire is available from Málaga or Gibraltar Airport, or from Málaga train station. The hotel is a little tricky to find, so listen very carefully: from the A92 towards Málaga, follow the road towards Marbella after Málaga airport, taking the AP7 toll road until exit 184. At the roundabout, turn left and cross the bridge then continue straight over at the junction, down the hill until you reach Calle Cortijo on the right. Take the first left (Avenida del Mercado) and drive downhill until you come to a crossroads, turning left onto Calle Salvador Rueda. Follow the road up until you reach Calle San Francisco on the right, but be warned – there’s no road sign. The streets are very narrow by this point. Go down Calle San Francisco, then take the first right onto Calle Leganitos. Turn left at the Guardia building, then left again, then left once more. Reverse until you reach a small church; the hotel is on the left.
