How to Get to Guadix Cathedral #
Guadix Cathedral sits in the old town of Guadix (province of Granada). By car it is reached from Granada in roughly 45-60 minutes (about 60 km) via the A-92 eastbound; follow signs for Guadix and then into the historic centre.
Regular intercity buses (ALSA and other regional services) run between Granada and Guadix; the Guadix bus station (Estación de Autobuses de Guadix) is in the town centre, typically a 5-10 minute walk to the cathedral.
Tips for Visiting Guadix Cathedral #
- Visit first thing in the morning when the town is cooler and quieter - the cathedral sits in the heart of Guadix so early arrival gives better light for photographing the façade and avoids the midday heat.
- Check the cathedral's opening hours and Mass schedule before you go; access can be limited at certain times so confirming opening times avoids disappointment.
- Combine your visit with a short walk into Guadix's cave quarter (Barrio de las Cuevas) - many visitors see the cathedral but miss the nearby cave dwellings and viewpoints that give a different perspective on the town and cathedral skyline.
Best Time to Visit Guadix Cathedral #
