Corvera Airport

Hiya,

I read in another EOS forum that Corvera Airport will now open in 2011 or possibly even later this year.

Looking at the map it appears to be a bit nearer to San Juan but does anyone know if they are building a new road & where it will be?

This could be good news I reckon.

Cheers,

Opening September or October next year.  South of Murcia city so I'm hoping it'll link onto the toll road. 

Hi

Links into the road infastructure are part of the plans for Covera as well as a rail link to Murcia then hopefully when the AVE is completed ,on to a new station that  is to be built at  Vera .This could if your plane and train fit together be good news for those travelling  into the area.

regards

It's a good walk from Vera!  I've never seen a bus go through San Juan.  Did I blink and miss it? 

Hi Folks

The Corvera Airport is delayed and at best will open in 2011 but more likely 2012. If you are travelling from San Juan to the airport you will notice as you get to Cartagena there is a motorway link to Murcia. The airport is close to this motorway and the a new road to connect both is under construction. I'm not sure if it nearer than San Javier as it is in the mountains south of Muricia. I've been there a couple of tyimes and it takes a minimum of 1 hour 20 to get there.

It'll be a lot more expensive as well so long live San Javier!!

Hi

Bus Almeria to Aguilas and vice versa ,stops both ways outside pepes south side of the roundabout(big yellow and cream things)cant help with times but seems to be fairly well used by people.There may be an internet timetable available but not sure which buses they are,could be ALSA but not sure.

Thanks Keith.

There's a bus service between Almeria - Aguilas- Mazarron.  Now I just need flights from Edinburgh to Almeria.

Hi mojito

Cant help you with that ,not much seems to fly into almeria these days used to be a route from newcastle but was cut about 18 months ago , so now use murcia If a rail link on the AVE to vera happens and i can use a bus back to terreros or better still if local trains can use the lines then it may be possible to get a train back to to the station at the back of terreros. Could then be possible to buy a car and leave it  in terreros and cut out having to hire a car.

Yes, that sounds good.  Although we're out often, it's for only 7-10 days at a time so it wouldn't be worth keeping a car there unless we could park it at the airport or close by.  Maybe we should post on a community forum close to Alicante/Murcia airport - Anyone wanting a car parked in their drive semi-permanently to show house is occupied.  Though they might want more of a Mercedes than the little compact I would buy.

An article in the Murcian paper last week stated that work on the airport had been delayed for at least another 6 months so make that 12!
