Bla Bla

If you are in a more obscure European town or are trying to get to one, you might have luck with BlaBlaCar. BlaBla is a ride share option in about 18 countries that is a solid alternative to bus and train. It's like if you took an UberPool from one city, state, or country, to another. The longest one I have taken was in Spain from Granada to Valencia. It took about 5 to 6 hours and 2 other passengers were in the car with our driver, a college student. It cost almost nothing- especially compared to what train fare would have cost (and there are no direct trains). In Vienna, Austria, I met a guy who had taken BlaBla from Florence, Italy- something like 14 hours. He had come to surprise his friend, a flight attendant landing in Vienna, with a midnight picnic and to ask her to be his girlfriend. Awwwwww. The point is, you can take BlaBla from a lot of places and for long or short rides. Check it out.

The Alhambra is the reason you go to Granada. And it's worth it.
