Getting here
How to get to Penthouse Pilar
Two airports within an hour, a private parking space and a personal welcome.
Flying in
The nearest airport is Región de Murcia International (RMU) near Corvera, about 40 minutes’ drive away. From Alicante-Elche (ALC) it takes 55 to 60 minutes. Alicante has the widest choice of flights, including from the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands.
Car hire
You can hire a car at both airports. A car gives you the most freedom to explore: the beaches, Las Salinas, Cartagena and Murcia are all within an hour. Around town you can easily cycle too, and two free bikes are waiting for you.
Take the AP-7 motorway or the N-332 coast road to Pilar de la Horadada. Enter in your satnav: Avenida Príncipe de Asturias 37, 03190 Pilar de la Horadada.
Parking
The penthouse comes with a private parking space. You will find exactly where it is in the practical information we send you before your trip.
Arrival
Check-in is from 15:00. Our local contact will meet you on arrival. Let us know your expected arrival time; if you arrive later, we are happy to arrange that with you (see prices).
Under Spanish law we register a valid ID document for every guest on arrival.
