There used to be a lot of very cheap flights to Malaga from Newcastle but now there are less.
Just do a google.
Then you need to get a bus from Malaga.
Malaga airport has a special bus stop with buses to the Malaga bus station.
Get off the plane, go to the bus station and get on the bus to Granada.
Once you are in Granada bus station get a taxi from Granada bus station to
the accom or get on a bus into the centre.
