Check the UK Foreign Office travel advice for the latest safety and entry information before booking.
Getting there from Gibraltar
Malaga airport is about an hour and a half by car from Gibraltar, plus time to cross the frontier.
This is a flight outside the Schengen area, so Aena advises arriving three hours before departure, with a passport check on the way out.
