Getting to Spain..
For those travelling from the North of England we would recommend flying to Malaga. There are several flights daily from Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, East Midlands etc. Those travelling from London or other major airports in Europe might have the option of flying direct to Granada Airport. There are regular flights to Sevilla (From Manchester) and indirect flights to Granada, from the UK via Madrid.

If you´re thinking about renting a car, this can be an affordable option in April.
The wedding is just outside of high season, before the Guiri´s invade the coastline between May and September.
On arrival in Malaga Airport, you can get to the car rental area simply by taking the lift down to Floor -1 after passing Border Control.
The lift is just to the left of the baggage collection. Don´t leave the airport building, we made this mistake the first time!

TOP TIP: Don't use the inside lane on roundabouts. It's only purpose, as far as anyone can tell, is for lost tourists.
