Terminal Information – Arriving

All arrivals at Malaga Airport are filtered through Terminal 3, where baggage claim and passport control are located. The airport is well-connected to the city centre, and there are plenty of public and private transport options. Some holidaymakers choose to arrange private transfers before arriving, but there's a taxi rank just outside the airport if you're only going a short distance. If you want to explore the Costa del Sol, or if you're staying in a rural area, you can hire a car at Malaga Airport. The fastest way to reach the city is by train. The station is a short walk from the terminal, and it takes trains about 12 minutes to reach the city centre. Single tickets are just €1.40* (about £1). Bus A also goes into Malaga, but the service is slower and surprisingly more expensive at €3* (about £2.20) per ticket.

What to expect in Malaga

Malaga is one hour ahead of Southampton and the currency is the Euro (€). The Costa Del Sol is one of the most budget friendly destinations in Europe. Expect to pay no more than £1* for a pint of local draught beer, and less than £25* for a three-course dinner for two. The high season in Malaga is between June and August, when temperatures hover around the 25°C mark. The city is worth visiting during the winter too, with temperatures of 13°C. Most people by the coast can speak a bit of English, but it's a good idea to pack your Spanish phrase book if you're heading inland. At the minimum you should learn the words for hello (hola), please (por favor) and thank you (gracias).
