The first is the <strong>high-speed train to Granada<\/strong>, combined with a last stretch by car to Pradollano: this is the option advertised at around 3 hours and 50 minutes in total. The second is to make the whole trip by car: via the A-4 and A-44 to Granada and from there on the A-395. If you prefer not to drive at night or in snow, the combination of high-speed train and car is usually the most comfortable.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"desde-malaga-y-sevilla\">From M\u00e1laga and Seville<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From <strong>M\u00e1laga<\/strong> the route goes via Antequera to Granada and takes around 2 hours to Sierra Nevada. From <strong>Seville<\/strong>, the A-92 motorway takes you to Granada, and from there you climb the A-395 to Pradollano. In both cases, it is best to leave with time to spare at weekends and on holidays in season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group sn-callout is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are coming from far away, calculate your arrival time in Granada and not in Pradollano: the last mountain stretch depends most on the weather, the snow and the traffic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ultimo-tramo\">The last stretch to Pradollano<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wherever you come from, the end of the journey is the same: from Granada you take the ring road to the exit towards Sierra Nevada and climb the A-395, a mountain road. The entrance to the Pradollano village is on the right.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list sn-steps\"><li><strong>Check the weather and snow<\/strong> Look at the <a
