On confirmation of  your holiday, we will provide you with comprehensive and detailed instructions from Malaga Airport to Estacion de Cartama where we always meet first time guests. We then take you up the mountain road (tarmac) and then the last couple of kilometres are on a track: starting off better than many metalled roads and ending with a serviceable farm track. In wet months a 4x4 would probably give you more confidence, although an unnecessary expense.  None of our guests have yet hired a 4x4 - though a car with high ground clearance would be nice - such as the Ford Fusion, Citroen Berlingo and Renault Kangaroo.  Most guests seem to have either Renault Clio or Ford Focus type which are more than adequate.  It seems that the higher the category of car, the lower the ground clearance is - this is not the place to treat yourselves to a Porsche .... Car Hire

Do remember though, we will pick you up from the airport (€30) and take you out on excursions (various prices) - so unless you want to go out each day, you might not even need a car! (see: Getting Around)

If you are driving down to Southern Spain, you may find it worth taking a look at the Via Michelin site. Here you can type in your departure point and your destination - not to mention whether you want toll roads, motorways, scenic or shortest routes, and print out a fairly comprehensive route direction guide with timings (although it doesn't allow for a single break!) and even petrol consumption.
