When you leave the airport follow the signs for Malaga (not Cadiz, Torremolinos etc.), you will then join the motorway.  Stay on the motorway for a couple of junctions and then follow signs for N340/E15 Motril.  You need to be in the right hand lane for this but cars are also joining motorway from the right and you can easily miss the junction.  Stay on N340/E15 for about 1 hour until you reach the N323/E902 Granada junction (a couple of Kim's after Salobreña - if you get to Motril you have gone too far).  Stay on N323/E902 for about 10 mins until you pass Velez de Benaudalla.  The road then becomes dual carriageway, move into the right hand lane and start indicating for the right hand turn onto the bridge (about 150 yards from start of dual carriageway).  You will join the A346 road to Orgiva.
