Travel
By Air
Numerous direct flights to Malaga from most U.K. and many other European airports. Indirect flights also available, or extend your holiday by flying to a different Spanish city (Granada is nearest) and on to us by hire car or public transport. See: http://www.malaga-airport-guide.com
Most airlines now offer their cheapest fares only if you book early. Except at the quietest times, last-minute bargains are scarce, especially for public holiday periods, including school half terms.
Book outward flight due in by 15:30. If earlier, relax, swim, or leave your luggage and explore. Return flight should leave after 12:30 p.m.
Malaga - Cortijo Romero. Private bus service, with British guide, £20 each way, journey time 2¼ hours. (Public buses take 5½ hours) Most guests come this way: you travel together, it's cheaper and it minimises vehicle pollution. Pickup is from a nice hotel a few minutes by taxi or train from the airport.
Can't get flights for these times? We can send a taxi for you: £45 each way. (If you book one yourself, it will cost a lot more.)

Booking Travel
We use a specialist travel agent, Star Travel, on 020 8998 2931. http://www.startravel.co.uk Not quite the cheapest but they know just what is required for our holidays, take care of the hassle and have full ABTA and ATOL bonding. You can use others but, to use the Cortijo Romero transfer service, first check the timings given above.
You can book most flights via travel agents, or save a little by booking direct.
