How to get here

The FYCMA Trade Fairs and Congress Center of Málaga, located in the capital of the Costa del Sol -  the second most important communications and transport hub in Spain and the first in the south of the country – is located next to the motorway that joins the ring roads of Malaga with the Mediterranean Motorway.

By Air

There are excellent connections to the FYCMA venue from Malaga Airport from throughout Europe by air or rail.
