Getting to the Costa del Sol

There are several ways to get to the apartment in Torrequebrada on Spain's Costa del Sol for your golfing or family holiday, it just depends on your preferred mode of travel...

The easiest way is to nip down to your local travel agent or log onto the web and book flights.

The main airport is Malaga airport, which is only 14km from the apartment. There are regular flights from most UK regional airports to Malaga and the flight time is about 3 hours.
