At AGP, stay airside—busy terminals and long queues make short exits risky.
We recommend you stay airside: Málaga Airport is close, but short exits feel rushed.
A quick seaside or old-town walk is possible.
Stay near the coast or old town and enjoy beaches, food, and walking. Traffic and heat add up, so staying local makes the experience smoother.
