Eva Bretos Cano, director of Icelandair in Spain, says: "We are very excited about the opening of this new route between Malaga and Reykjavik. It is a unique opportunity to bring Iceland closer to tourists from the south of Spain, while at the same time expanding the connection possibilities to North America". She is confident that "this new service will be very well received by both leisure and business travellers". In Spain, the Icelandic company also flies from Alicante, Barcelona, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Tenerife South.

In its description, it warns that "everyone falls in love with Malaga, and it's easy to understand why: golden beaches, sunny squares, sizzling tapas, Moorish palaces and the lingering notes of flamenco in the night air". And he ends by posing the question of whether Malaga is "the perfect blend of culture and coast" with a resounding answer: "without a doubt".
