To and from Malaga airport

Malagas airport is about 8 kilometers outside the city centre. It is the main airport if you are going to the Spanish sunshine coast. There was 12.5 million people travelling to or from Malagas airport 2012.

There are 3 terminals at the airport. However it is very easy to transfer between the terminals so i do not split up terminal by terminal.


I do recommend to make a booking with a shuttleservice. It is very conveniet, you will be picked up at the airport and taken to your preferd drop-off point and you dont have to negotiate the price. There are some companys that offer this service, for exampel Hoppa.
