If you have got a car at hand, go to the village of Churriaba (enter "Calle de Rigoberta Menchú, 29004, Malaga, Malaga, Andalusia, Spain" as destination in route planners). The parking bay at the upper end of this sloping road gives you some good views (but rather distant for photography) of the apron and action on the single runway as you are on higher terrain. As of November 2009 a new building is obstructing views of the south-eastern part of the apron. Also, aircraft parked at the new terminal will be out of view partially. <br>

A building is obstructing views of the south-eastern part of the apron, but as of late 2010, this apron is rarely used now, as traffic has shifted to new Terminal 3. Aircraft parked at the far side of Terminal 3 will be out of view. <br>
Down the road you are directly the airport fence, but will loose some overview, but will gain views of the apron, including the military apron. It is possible to park a few cars there. <br>

As you are west of the airport, the sun will not bother photography.
