Is Malaga Airport shopping cheap?

Personally, we don’t find the shopping at the airport that cheap. In fact, you can often find better deals in the shops along the Costa del Sol. For example, the El Corte Ingles department stores in Malaga and Marbella are great for perfumes, aftershaves, fashion, makeup, etc. Especially if you are eligible for a 10% discount with your passport – it’s worth asking them for details. See our Costa del Sol Guide and our Malaga City Guide for more information about shops on the coast.

You can transport the goods yourself

If you’re travelling from outside the EU, you can bring a certain amount of goods for your own use without paying duty or tax, but the following must also apply:
