    cheap flight to malaga with easyject, car hire and drive along the coast to benalmedina etc, carry on to Gibralter.

    we did it for £40 return flight, £60 car hire and cheap hotels on route, stayed in 2 seaside towns and went to Gib. All in all i spent around £150

    Ok, a slight modification on the previous suggestion. Fly into Malaga. It's then about €2 to Benalmedina (and other resorts along the coast) on the train. There's a station at the airport. Loads of cheap accommodation available.
