By Air

Gibraltar

Gibraltar airport is about 52 kilometres from Dominion Beach and is located about 2 kilometres from the town centre adjacent to the frontier with Spain. There are no telescopic boarding utilities at Gibraltar: passengers walk across the tarmac to board the aeroplane. If visiting Spain, it's easier to walk across the frontier a few hundred yards away and collect a hire car in La Linea. Friends and relatives from Spain meeting passengers are similarly advised to park in La Linea.

British Airways and Monarch both offer flights to Gibraltar from the UK, or, since 15th December 2006, you can fly from Madrid into Gibraltar with the Spanish airline Iberia.

The Airport Code is GIB, and the phone number is 00 350 773 026

Malaga

Malaga airport is about 75 kilometres from Dominion Beach and is a modern international airport. It is a small airport and Terminal 2 (the main Terminal) is very easy to get around. The key thing to remember is that arrivals are downstairs and departures are upstairs. At the moment, there are a lot of road works and building works currently being carried out due to expansion of the car park, so it's worth adding a few more minutes onto your journey while these are ongoing.

The Airport Code is AGP, and useful phone numbers include:


Continuing your Journey

Bus

A bus runs from Malaga Airport to Marbella Bus Station, which has been recommended to me as tremendous value. Further details and a timetable can be found here. You can then either get on a local bus from Marbella to Estepona for a bus stop close to Hacienda Beach, or take a taxi for a much reduced cost.

For Gibraltar, buses run from La Linea to Estepona, where you can change to a bus to Marbella for a stop near Hacienda Beach, or again, take a taxi for reduced cost.

Train

Although there is a train planned to run from Malaga to Marbella and beyond, at the moment, the train only goes as far as Fuengirola, and is therefore of no real use in further travel.

There is also no train service from Gibraltar.
