Driving instructions to Marbella from Málaga airport. Upon leaving Málaga airport, follow the N-340 sign for Cadiz (not Málaga). Do not enter the towns of Torremolinos or Benalmadena, but stay on the motorway. Just before you get to Fuengirola, you will see the AP7 toll road sign. (Autopista de peaje). You can choose to continue your journey on the N340 (keep in the right lane), or take the outer left lane to the toll road. |

Driving instructions to Marbella from Gibraltar airport.
Gibraltar is a small, quiet airport about one hundred kilometres from Marbella. However, daily flights arrive from London, and occasionally from Morrocco and other African cities.
Upon leaving Gibraltar airport, take the N-340 towards Cádiz, turning off at San Roque until La Linea. The signs are easily visible. The bad thing about Gibraltar airport, is the queue to get off 'the Rock'. I have waited four hours sometimes.

We do however suggest that you buy a good map!

ARRIVING BY TRAIN:
We do not recommend taking the train to your Marbella property. The train tracks stop at Fuengirola, so you would have to continue your journey by bus, train or taxi.
ARRIVING BY BUS:
To get to your Marbella property by bus, you must first take the Marbella-Airport line. Take the number 27 bus to Marbella. Bus-stops can be found at the Terminal 1 arrivals and Terminal 2, departures.
Timetable: 06:15, 8.00, 10.00, 12.00, 13.45, 15.45, 17.30, 19.30, 21.30, 23.00. The journey takes approximately 45 minutes. Price: 3,92 €.
This information is provided in good faith, but do not plan your journey around this timetable without checking the official bus website for exact times and prices before you travel! For more information you can telephone: 902 143 144 or look at the updated timetable and prices on the bus website.
ARRIVING BY TAXI:
There are taxis right outside the door of the airport, ready to take you to your Marbella property. This is by far the most comfortable option.The prices are divided into two categories.
Category 1;
Work days between 6am and 10pm: approximately 0,9 Euros for every kilometre.
Category 2;
Between 10 pm and 6am, Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays, the whole day; approximately 1,01 Euros every kilometre. A taxi should cost you approximately 52 Euros depending on the category and the exact area within Marbella.
A taxi carries four passengers. Babies must use their own security baby chair, small children under 135cm. must use their own booster seat, and children under 140 cm must not sit in the front. Most Spanish taxi drivers will allow children without their own security chair, because if the police stop you on your journey, you pay the fine, not him!

This information is taken from the Spanish yellow pages. If you see a listing of 520 restaurants, at least you will have an idea of the size of the town, you are thinking of buying a property in, where as if you see a listing of two, think about buying some hens, as your Marbella property will be in a very remote place!
