Hello All,
Planing a trip to Granada next weekend from Portugal and can’t find a lot of info on the best airport to visit the town. I see the main airport, a military one that seems closer but no info if GA is allowed and a small landing strip a bit more far from the city.
Any local advice?
Thanks,
LEGR has all contacts in AIP – the easiest way is to send email to “granada (at) generalaviation (dot) es” and check with them. I was there years ago and it was super-friendly and cheap airport but I don’t know if anything changes. Regarding LEGA (military) and LEJE (small one) I don’t have any idea.
Thanks guys

I‘ve described LEJE in here. It is still open, many recent positive reviews in SD.
I just finished reading it. Thank you. The only thing that is not clear to me is the handling agent. It says that if you are coming from a control airport, there is no need for a handling agent but others say you do.
You mean at LEGR, don’t you? It’s a while that I‘ve been there and handling was not required when coming from a ‚controlled‘ airfield. This changed with COVID, I‘m not sure about the current situation.
At LEJE there is no handling 🤣

With a new prop on my Mooney…not sure I want to land there 🤣
LEGR used to be incredibly cheap to land and park; so cheap that people just left their planes to rot there (Spain was full of abandoned planes years back). When I last flew there, there were just two airworthy planes parked there: mine, and a Partenavia used for sightseeing. Then the price went up and I would expect the wreckage was cleared out.

😀 It’s not that bad. It’s gravel (tierra compactada), but really smooth.
