The recommended way to get to Almeria is by flying or driving from Madrid or Barcelona. Getting there by train is strongly discouraged as there is no high speed train.

For people flying from the east coast, there is a direct flight from Newark to Malaga during summer time. From Malaga there is only a 2 -hour car ride to get to Almeria.

For people that require a Visa for going into Europe, please start the process ASAP, as the Spain consulate in San Francisco may be slow processing it. Some people have been able to do it through an external company (BLS), but please check the rules for your particular case.

Important The EU is requiring that people without European passports get a travel authorization (ETIAS) before traveling.
