PUBLICTRANSPORT

Taxi or City Microbus: There is a rank and a bus stop in Plaza Nueva.

The 30 and 32 Lines of the city bus have the following stops in the Alhambra complex: 1 The Ticket Offices (Entrance Pavilion), 2 Torre de las Cabezas [Tower of the Heads], near the Charles V Palace and the Nasrid Palaces, and 3, the Puerta de la Justicia [Gate of Justice], the nearest to the Alcazaba.

In most of the Information published, it still appears that access to the Alhambra on the public bus, line 30, is from Plaza Nueva. This is not really so. In recent months Gomérez Slope Street is closed to traffic because of the restoration work taking place in the Gate of Pomegranates. The duration of these works is anticipated long, so it has moved out of the line 30 and 32 to the Plaza de Isabel la Católica, about 100 meters from Plaza Nueva. The new bus stop is, specifically, to the back of the monument of Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus.
