Malaga Airport Guide

Hi Jo,

My family and I are flying into Malaga arriving Saturday Evening.
We are staying in Gaucin. Our tour company has given us directions for driving in our Hire car from
Malaga Airport to Gaucin. These directions tell us to avoid the Autovia Toll road, and instead tell us to use the N340 from Malaga down to Estepona,
then the A377 up to Gaucin. But from the Map the N340 seems to go through all the Towns, so I’m concerned it may be slow.

I wondered whether there might be any reason why they recommend avoiding the Toll road?
Might it be that the N340 is a sufficiently good/fast road that it simply isn’t worth paying the toll or as a ‘first timer’ struggling to
work out how the Toll system works?

Which route would you take?

Many Thanks

Andre


Generally the maps never say take the toll road.

If you are going to drive from malaga to Gaucin, you drive towards marbella yes?

Well you can just join the told road from Malaga Airport (at Benalmadena) stay on it until around Manilva, where there is a Toll Road Junction. By this time you would have paid for the toll at around Calanhonda San Pedro and Manilva. The you come off the toll road I think at around Manilva and take the road up to Gaucin.

Have a look at www.googlemaps.com but dont take all their words for it....they do make mistakes too..

Good luck

Regards
