From the airport
The airport is 5 minutes away.
Price and time-wise the best solution is to use a ride-hailing app such as Uber or Bolt. Will cost you between 4 and 10 euros depending on the time of the day for up to 3 people.
From the arrivals area turn to your right, use the escalator/or elevator and go to the departure area (one floor above the arrivals). Exit the building and go towards car park 1 (Parque 1) as it is there that the Uber/Bolt cars pick up their clients.

All passengers arrive in Terminal 1 but some airlines (mainly discount airlines like Ryanair, Easyjet, Norwegian) fly out from Terminal 2.
