Galera lies in the province of Granada, in the Andalusian part of Southern Spain, on the A330, which runs from the excellent A92 dual carriageway running between Granada and Murcia. Galera is about 30km north of Baza, the nearest major city to be found on most maps of Spain. Galera is about midway between the beautiful city of Granada and Murcia both about 150km distance.
Galera is about two and a half hours drive, on very good dual carriageway, from the airports of Malaga and Alicante. There are also international airports at Murcia, Almeria and Granada, but charter flights to these airports are less common.
A new major international airport is under construction to the west of Murcia and is scheduled for completion in late 2004. The new Murcia airport will be running low cost charter flights to many UK airports and will be less than one hours drive, on excellent roads from Galera.
Granada's airport is shortly to undergo a major expansion programme with completion in 2006, when it too wil be accepting budget charter flights from many UK holiday airports. Dive time to this airport will be just over one hour, again on excellent roads.
