Since the new terminal was built at Malaga Costa del Sol Airport the exit and approach routes by road have changed. If you have not visited the airport for a while then you might find it confusing at first as you come in via different roads completely.
During the summer months the roads around Malaga Airport can get fairly congested, even with the new relief roads in place. Make sure you allow extra time for your road journey during peak times of the year.
