Malaga..a summer of discontent approaches!
The building of the second terminal continues with much chaos groundside.
It is taking up to 45 minutes to access the airport via the Spur road from the A7(N340). A new one way system is in operation, which means to access arrivals you need to travel to the roundabout at the cargo terminal, then come back on yourself. However there is no facility for picking people up any longer. The cops will not allow it. There is a similar situation on departures level, where entry to the former drop down area is restricted to coaches and taxis only, being overseen by two security guards and the cops will not allow you to stop anywhere else.
Entry and Exit for coaches using the coach park is now immediatly adjacent to arrivals. The ground floor of the multi story carpark accross from the terminal is now for car hire companies only, as the old car hire return facility has been demolished.
A new Car Park 3 has been established, the other side of the cargo terminal, with a free bus service to and from the terminal. Unless you are lucky and find a space in the now restricted car parks 1 and 2, you have no option but to use the new car park and the bus. There are only two buses in use.
People need to allow quite a bit of extra time if going to check in or to meet people. The airport is constantly snarrled up. It is utter chaos.
It is far easier and quicker to access the airport via the rail link.
BE AWARE.
