• The IAA is close to the metro station Hípica (just a 5-min walk). There is a single metro line in Granada, with stops at both the train station (Estación de Ferrocarril) and the bus station (Estación de Autobuses).  From any of these stops, just take the metro line towards Armilla and jump off at Hípica.

There are also connections by bus from both stations:

• From the train station of Granada, ask for Av. de la Constitución and get on bus LAC to Palacio de Congresos. Get off Palacio de Congresos stop and change to bus S2, direction to Villa Argaz. This bus has a stop right next to the IAA.
