There are a few ways of getting to Cortijo Grande depending if you’re travelling from the coast or inland from the A-7 motorway. Travelling from Mojacar your best option is to drive along “the old Turre road” now called the A-6111. Once you hit Turre you’ll want to travel right through and out the otherside sticking to the same road. As you leave Turre passing the cemetary to your left you travel 2km until you see an archway entrance on your left. Take this road and you’ll find yourself in Cortijo Grande after another couple of kilometers. If you’re travelling from Garrucha or Vera Playa the road you’ll want to take is the A-370 towards Turre.
