Opened in September 2017, the Metro de Granada (Metropolitano de Granada) is a state-of-the-art light rail and underground transit network spanning nearly 16 kilometers (10 miles) from Albolote in the north, through downtown Granada, to Armilla in the south.
With high-frequency departures, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and complete wheelchair accessibility, it is the most comfortable transit method for moving between the AVE train station, central shopping avenues, and regional bus terminals.
