We are an hour and a half by car from Jerez airport (Ryanair) and a two hour drive from both Gibraltar airport (Monarch and British Airways) and Málaga airport (Monarch, Easyjet and others). The drive from Jerez is particularly pretty.
If you are coming to The Hoopoe by public transport the easiest airport to arrive at is Gibraltar. Walk out of the airport and across the border (a couple of hundred metres), then hop into a taxi to San Roque (10 to 15 minutes) and then onto the train to Cortes de la Frontera (50 minutes) where we can pick you up.
Directions from Jerez
Follow signs for Jerez on the A4 until you see signs for A382 for Arcos de la Frontera. Take the A382 to Arcos and continue around to the left side of Arcos (do not go into town) and after a long curve down hill turn right onto A372 for El Bosque and Ubrique. Just before El Bosque (km 28) turn right onto the A373 for Ubrique. Go through the middle of Ubrique on the one way system (at the Cajamar Bank turn right for Jimena and Algeciras) and continue out of Ubrique (left at T junction on top of ridge) on the A373 to Cortes de la Frontera.
Directions from Gibraltar
Cross the border to La Linea. Take the N351 towards the coast road N340. When you reach the N340 go south towards Algeciras for a couple of kilometres. At exit 115 take the A405 towards Jimena de la Frontera and Ronda. Stay on this road past Jimena and Gaucín. About 7 kilometres past Gaucín, turn left towards Cortes de la Frontera. Go down the hill and through Estación de Cortes and up the other side to Cortes.
Directions from Málaga
Take the motorway A7-E15 south towards Algeciras. Pass Marbella and then take the A376 to Ronda. At Ronda take the bypass and follow signs for Sevilla. Just past Ronda, take a left turning, signposted to Cortes de la Frontera. After Benaojan, take another left, also signposted to Cortes de la Frontera. Keep going for 18 kilometres until you arrive in Cortes.
