Malaga-Costa del Sol International Airport
Pablo Picasso Airport is the most popular and important airport in Andalusia. It is about 8 kilometers from the city center, so it is well connected by public transport.
Malaga airport has several services such as currency exchange, bars, restaurants, 3 terminals, pharmacy or even VIP lounge and not only that, but there is also unlimited wi-fi!
Buses
Malaga and the cities of the Costa del Sol are well connected to the airport, making them easily accessible.
There are several types of buses, some of which go to the city center and others to the nearest towns.
Urban Express Bus
To get to the impressive center of the city of Malaga, where your stops are the train station, Avenida de Andalucía, Alameda Principal or Paseo del Parque among others, I recommend taking this type of service, which also will be in less than 20 minutes, taking the “line A”.
The bus runs quite frequently and operates 24 hours a day. Its price is affordable.
