How do I get from Malaga Airport to Gibraltar?

Hi Karen Thanks for writing in. You can do the journey two ways.

Malaga airport bus to Malaga Bus Station then to La Linea Bus Station.

1) Take the bus from the airport outside the arrivals area (Every 30 minutes from 6.am to 11.30pm) to the main bus station in Málaga and then take the bus from Málaga Bus Station to La Linea bus station. From there it is a short walk to the Gibraltar border and once you have shown your passport you can take a bus or taxi for the very short ride to the centre. Check this schedule for times from Málaga bus station to La Linea:

2) Take the special Málaga Airport to Marbella Bus Station bus service. Have a coffee in the Marbella Bus Station restaurant and the catch the bus from Marbella to La Linea. Here is the schedule from Marbella Bus Station to La Linea Bus Station

Either way you will get there, I guess a lot will depend on your arrival time at the airport and then deciding which is the most convenient route for you. My opinion is that if the timings are good between your arrival time at the airport and the next departure time for the Marbella shuttle bus I would go for that option and cut out the trip back into Malaga bus station and then out again virtually past the airport on your way to La Linea.

The Gibraltar border is only 5 minutes walk from the La Linea Bus Station, have your passport ready and you will walk straight through. In the picture below you will see where the taxi stop is, about 10 metres past the passport control.

I hope this helps, if you have any difficulties in working it all out, please let me know if I can help! Best wishes from a wet Costa del Sol
