Travel Advice for picking up laptop?
I need to get from Rome to Granada, Spain, round-trip, for the purpose of picking up my laptop and iPod that I will not be using while backpacking! Should I go by plane, train or bus?! I am confused...is it even possible to go from Rome to Granada by train? Thanks so much.

Answer 1 :
Is there no one in Granada who can send them by courier service to you in Rome? In any case, go by plane! The price will not be cheap but at least you'll be saving a lot of time if your sole purpose for the trip is to collect these items. Iberia flies Rome to Granada via Madrid. Ryanair + train may be a cheaper option. Go by train from Rome to Bergamo, and fly from Bergamo to Granada-Jaen. Rome is a long way away from Granada. An overland journey means travelling along the west coast of Italy northward from Rome, continue into French riviera and south of France, then along the east coast of Spain all the way to Granada. It's over 2,200 km of driving distance!!! Besides, I am not aware of availability of direct train and so you will have to break your journey down. A lot. Rome-Milan (4 hours by Eurostar, 3 1/2 hours by Eurostar-fast), Milan-Barcelona (14 hours by night train), Barcelona-Granada (11 hours by night train), so you could travel up to 29-30 hours!!! Not to mention, it's going to end up very expensive anyway. If you want to go with a bus option, Eurolines run from Rome to Madrid, and from there take a train to Granada. The bus journey is some 30-31 hours, while the train another 4-5 hours
