Choosing the Right Pick-Up Time

For this journey, selecting the correct pick-up time is particularly important because Spain and Portugal use different local times.

When booking, please provide:

• Flight number
• Airline
• Scheduled departure time
• Number of passengers
• Luggage details
• Exact Seville collection address

For most flights, passengers should normally plan to arrive at Faro Airport around 2 hours before departure, although airline requirements may vary.

You should also allow for:

• Approximately 2h15–2h30 driving time
• Traffic
• Loading luggage
• Comfort margin
• Border-area traffic
• Airport check-in
• Security
• Passport control when required

Important: Portugal and Spain Time Difference

Mainland Portugal is normally 1 hour behind mainland Spain.

For example:

12:00 in Seville = 11:00 in Faro

This is especially important when calculating your departure from Seville.

Your flight time at Faro Airport is shown in Portuguese local time.

Your collection time in Seville is shown in Spanish local time.

Example

If your flight departs Faro Airport at 12:00 Portugal time, you may normally want to arrive at the airport at around 10:00 Portugal time.

That corresponds to 11:00 in Seville.

With approximately 2h15–2h30 driving time, a collection around 08:15–08:30 Spanish time may provide a sensible margin depending on traffic and your exact address.

Always check your airline’s recommended arrival time before confirming your booking.

Direct Transfer or Sightseeing Journey?

Both options are available.

Direct Private Transfer

Choose the direct journey if your priority is reaching Faro Airport efficiently and with a comfortable margin before your flight.

The normal direct journey takes approximately 2h15–2h30.

Sightseeing Transfer

If your flight departs late enough, you can transform the journey into a private road trip through western Andalusia and the eastern Algarve.

Recommended stops:

Niebla → Muelle de las Carabelas → Castro Marim → Cacela Velha

Each stop can be selected individually or combined according to your available time.

Which Sightseeing Stops Can Be Combined?

You can select one or several stops depending on your flight departure time.

Andalusian History

Niebla + Muelle de las Carabelas

A strong combination for travellers interested in medieval history, maritime exploration and Spanish heritage.

Eastern Algarve Combination

Castro Marim + Cacela Velha

Combine castles and Guadiana landscapes with panoramic views over the Ria Formosa.

Quick Scenic Stop

Cacela Velha

A particularly good option if you want a shorter stop before continuing towards Faro Airport.

Full Sightseeing Journey

Niebla + Muelle de las Carabelas + Castro Marim + Cacela Velha

The complete itinerary transforms the airport transfer into a substantial sightseeing journey between Spain and Portugal.

This option is only recommended when your flight schedule leaves a very generous time margin.

Can We Visit All Four Stops?

Yes, provided your flight departs sufficiently late and the itinerary is planned accordingly.

However, all four destinations add several hours to the journey.

For most airport passengers, one or two stops provide a better balance between sightseeing and safe airport arrival.

Airport punctuality must always remain the priority.

What Happens if We Are Running Late?

If your departure from Seville is delayed, the sightseeing itinerary may need to be reduced or cancelled.

This can happen because of:

• Late hotel checkout
• Traffic
• Attraction opening hours
• Unexpected road delays
• Changes to your flight schedule
• Insufficient airport margin

When travelling to catch a flight, reaching Faro Airport safely and with sufficient time always takes priority over optional sightseeing.

Travel Documents

Because this is an international journey between Spain and Portugal, passengers should carry valid identification and any travel documentation required for their nationality.

Please keep passports, national identity cards or other required documents easily accessible during the journey.

Comfort Breaks

A short comfort break can be arranged when reasonably required.

If you are travelling with:

• Young children
• Elderly passengers
• Reduced mobility
• Medical requirements

you can inform us in advance.

Sightseeing stops also naturally provide opportunities for breaks during the journey.

Collection in Seville

Private collection can be arranged throughout Seville where vehicle access is permitted.

Seville Historic Centre

Collection can be arranged from hotels and accommodation throughout the historic centre.

Some streets are pedestrianised or have restricted vehicle access.

When necessary, your driver will use the closest legally accessible collection point.

Santa Cruz

The historic Santa Cruz area contains many narrow and pedestrianised streets.

The nearest accessible meeting point may therefore be required.

Cathedral and Giralda Area

Collection can be arranged from accessible points close to accommodation around the Cathedral and Giralda.

Triana

Private collection from hotels, apartments and addresses in Triana can be arranged.

Plaza de España Area

Collection can be arranged from accessible hotels and accommodation around Plaza de España and Parque de María Luisa.

Santa Justa Train Station

Private collection from Seville Santa Justa railway station can also be arranged.

This is useful for travellers arriving in Seville by train before continuing to Faro Airport.

Travelling with Children

Child seats are available free of charge on request.

Please provide the number and approximate ages of the children when booking so that suitable seats can be prepared.

Depending on age, this may include:

• Baby seats
• Child seats
• Booster seats

1 medium suitcase + 1 cabin bag per passenger

subject to vehicle capacity.

Please notify us before booking if you are travelling with:

• Very large suitcases
• Golf bags
• Bicycles
• Pushchairs
• Wheelchairs
