Flights to Andalucia are still among the cheapest and best value in the world
Málaga is the gateway to rural Andalucia. Easyjet and Monarch airlines are available for British travellers. All travellers should check both national and cheap airlines to compare prices. Malaga is the gateway to Europe and Africa and is serviced by most national and budget airlines. To plan your flight:
Car hire in Spain is still among the cheapest in Europe, but beware of "fuel theft"
Increasingly, car hire firms are operating a full/empty fuel policy, whereby first they overcharge you for a full tank of fuel, then they don't give you a refund for any fuel still in the tank when you return your car. We regard this as a scam, and advise you to avoid firms that practice it. We think Helle Hollis, which refunds the cost of unused fuel, is good value though not the cheapest. For more info
