Cordoba Airport is based 4 miles outside Cordoba and is on the south west of the city center. It is open all year round but it is mainly used to take in the extra flights that are chartered in the summer. It is not far from the Guadalquivir River and the Puente Tren Casillas Bridge. Once landed there are plenty of ways for passengers to quickly reach Cordoba. It is not one of Spain?s main airports as it only plays host to around 26,000 passengers a year.
The airport is located next to the N-437 highway and also the A0431 otherwise known as the Carretera a Palma del Rio and there is a link between Cordoba and the rest of the towns and resorts on the Costa del Sol. There are a number of beautiful villages around the airport and it is not too far to travel to reach the sea and sand of the beaches at the Costa del Sol.
Although there are public transport links from the airport there are also plenty of companies including Europcar, Avis and Hertz that are based there as many visitors find it easier to drive themselves around due to the good road system. It is possible to park at the airport as they have 96 spaces that can be used by either short stay or long stay customers. To make sure that you have the car you want when you want many people book car hire at Cordoba Airport by going to www.tripindicator.com as they will make sure that everything is arranged for when you land. Not only is this convenient but the prices will be competitive.
There have been planes landing in Cordoba dating back to the beginning of the 20th century but it was only in 1958 that the airport was created. It was renovated in the 1980s and again in the 1990s and this included additional car parking and a longer runway. As it is classed as a part time airport there are not many facilities compared to others but there are cafes that provide snacks such as tapas and sandwiches. There is also an information desk. It does not have the same level of shops that are at other airports but as there are plenty of places in Cordoba itself this should not be a problem.
