(el dougo, thanks for the sevilla message link but i need to get to hotel paraiso not puerta de jerez!)

sevilla: need to get from airport to hotel paraiso. does the airport bus go anywhere near there?

granada: how do i get from the bus station to the albaycin? how much would a taxi cost?

san sebastian: what's the best way to get from the bus station to pension kaia in parte viaje?

No, the airport bus in Sevilla doesn't go near C. Gravina 27. If you look at the streets in the itinerrario, (Pedro de Castro, Carlos V etc.) on LaNetro Street Directory , they're all south and east of Pta. de Jerez. You could still take the airport bus in Sevilla. At Sevilla bus , you can see the shortest route from Pta. de Jerez to Pla. Armas on the C3 (on these maps, east is at the top). You'd catch it on Avda. Gral Sanjuro, at the bus stop (black triangle) map , just SW of Pta. de Jerez. The bus crosses the river map , then crosses it again map , where you could get off just as it makes a left at the Estacion de autobus. Or you could just take a cab from Pta. de Jerez. The C3-C4 will take you to the bus station to Granda, too ( Estación autobuses El Prado San Sebastián). map . The airport bus is €2.30, the C3 is €1.00. Circular3 runs every 5-9 minutes (schedule).

In Granada, Line 3 runs from the bus station, past the train station, to the Plaza Isabel La Catolica, at the Gran Via Stop 1. (Expand in lower right corner). Line 31 runs around the Albaicin. Here's Granada bus info. Costs €0,850. There's also an airport bus (bottom of page) in Granada, €2,50.

thanks el dougo - you're a saint!

For Granada as I recall, the taxi fare from the bus station is about 5-7 euros, depending on traffic, amount of luggage, and where in Albaycin you're going (distance).

Usually when I arrive in a city, if I am considering whether to take a cab, I ask the cabbies how much it will be (more or less) to get to my destination. Their estimates have always been pretty close.
