Shopping at Malaga Airport
The main shopping area at Malaga Airport is in the new Terminal 3 . The shops in the old Terminal 2 are now closed as the area is being refurbished, but once you clear security and passport control you automatically enter the Terminal 3 shopping area.
I find shopping at Malaga Airport quite an enjoyable experience because it is a light and airy space with a good number of shops offering a wide range of products to choose from.
The new Terminal 3 provides a shopping area of more than 10,800 square metres which will eventually have over 50 shops. There are plenty of places for you to pick up last minute gifts and souvenirs as well as duty free shops selling perfumes, liquor and cogarettes/tobacco.
When you purchase anything from the airport shops, because it is tax free shopping you will be asked to show your boarding card so make sure you have this with you.
If you want to buy a book, magazine or newspaper to read on the plane, then there are several Prensa newsagents where you can do this.

Duty Free Shopping at Malaga Airport
It is good to know in advance what your duty free allowance. Those travelling from EU countries (such as Spain) back to the UK do not have to pay any tax or duty on goods purchased provided tax with included in the price of the item when paid for, are transported by you and are for your own personal use (this includes gifts). They must NOT be for resale.
There are two duty free shops in the departures lounge on the first floor of Malaga Airport Terminal 3 run by Aldeasa.
The Shop offers a wide range of duty free alcohol, tobacco, perfumery, cosmetics, foodstuffs and accessories, while the The Express Shop which is located near the departure gates, stocks a selected range of best sellers from top product categories, enabling passengers to do last-minute shopping for perfumery, cosmetics, drinks, food and cigarettes.
We have provided details on your duty free allowances from Malaga Airport.
