Take a flight from Edinburgh to Malaga and you’re headed for Spain’s Andalucia region on its southern coast. This is the Spain you’ve read about in the guide books – think sultry flamenco dancers, racy bullfights and crumbling Moorish masterpieces. It’s also home to some incredible cities, including Malaga itself. There’s a regular bus service from the airport – the Linea A Express – which leaves the main terminal and takes about 25 minutes max. Plus, you can easily get to beach resorts along the Costa del Sol if you’d rather head straight for the sand. Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Marbella are some of the best-known names in this neck of the woods. And with southern Spain’s balmy Mediterranean climate – which is an average of 26°C in August – you’d be mad to miss them out.
