In 2025, with 1,044,149 passengers from the main German airports, Málaga ranked 15th among all destinations abroad (cities and islands with several airports counted together). Among Spanish destinations, only Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona and Madrid were ahead. According to Aena, it is 8 km from the airport to the city centre. The C1 train runs from there into the centre and via Torremolinos to Fuengirola. At the weather station at the airport, the sun shines an average of 2,905 hours a year (AEMET, 1981–2010). The Alhambra in Granada has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984, the Antequera Dolmens since 2016.
