The AreaCosta del sol

The VenueFinca Monasterio
Finca Monasterio is an 18th Century monastery, tucked away in the countryside of Spain.
How to get there
For your convenience, we recommend flying into either Malaga Airport (AGP) or Gibraltar International Airport (GIB). Malaga Airport is located approximately 120 km (75 miles) from Finca Monasterio, with an estimated driving time of 1 hour and 15 minutes. It offers a wide range of services, and numerous regular flights from various worldwide destinations.
Gibraltar International Airport is located near the Gibraltar-Spain border, approximately 30 km (19 miles) from Finca Monasterio, with an estimated driving time of around 30-35 minutes. While closer to the venue, Gibraltar Airport has fewer flight options compared to Malaga, with flights primarily arriving from the United Kingdom.
Remember to apply for the EU Visa Waiver Scheme (ETIAs). It copies the US and the UK systems for visa waivers, and will require an application completed online (here) prior to travel.
