Granada to Córdoba by road
The fastest driving route is 164 km (102 mi) long and takes about 2 hr 10 min without stops or traffic. It runs mostly on the N-432 (141 km) and the GR-43 (9.3 km).
The whole route stays in Andalusia. That’s an average of 76 km/h (47 mph). Spain’s traffic authority (DGT) recommends a break every two hours or 200 km: with 1 stop of 20 minutes, the trip takes about 2 hr 30 min. The time is OSRM’s estimate with OpenStreetMap data: no traffic and speeds somewhat below the limits, so real trips can differ.
Straight-line distance and bearing
In a straight line, the shortest distance over the Earth’s surface, Granada and Córdoba are 131 km (81.2 mi) apart. That’s the geodesic on the WGS84 ellipsoid, the distance “as the crow flies”.
The road is 26% longer: for every 100 km in a straight line you drive 126. That’s a normal detour between two cities. Of the 120 Spanish driving pairs in this series, it ranks 44th for detour (the average is 24%).
From Granada, Córdoba lies to the northwest (bearing 308°), and from Córdoba, Granada lies to the southeast.
