Car hire at malaga airport

Gibraltar Airport also serves the Costa del Sol, although there are few flights and they're almost exclusively to and from the UK. Another downside: queues to leave Gibraltar are often long and customs checks are lengthy.

There's no public transport from the Costa del Sol except taxis, which may drop you off at the border rather than wait in the queue to get in and out of Gibraltar. Note that you may need a visa to enter Spain from Gibraltar, which is not part of the EU.

Airport information is available at 350-73026.

Airlines which fly from the UK to Gibraltar are:

• GB Airways (from Gatwick) – 0845-773-3377
• Monarch (from Luton and Manchester) – 0870-040-5040
