Just a heads up...Whilst returning to Malaga airport I got caught by a speed camera (98kph in a 80kph zone). Fair cop, I was not concentrating. The ticket arrived with instructions on how to pay on line which I did straight away and that's the reason for this post.
If paid promptly (cant remember the exact cut off but 14 days seems to ring a bell) the fine reduces by 50%.
Whilst some PHers say don't bother paying foreign fines, I visit Spain on a regular basis and don't want any hassle in the future. Just posting as an unexpected reduction in fine was better news than expected.

Your own car or a hire-car?

Whereabouts did you get pinged?

I've never seen a camera in the Malaga/Marbella area, and I've been 8 times in the past year.

There's a camera on the N-340, I can picture it but can't remember exactly where it is! Think it's just south of Fuengirola heading towards Marbella.

If you use the E-15 instead you're safe!

Hire car, travelling south on the MA-20 just before the airport. The limit just before the camera is 100kph but before the airport it drops to 80kph. Caught me out a treat but my own fault (tired at 0430hrs!).

I use the A7/AP7... happily cruise along that at 150 or so and never see any police.

Good to know... must watch out for it!

List.
Map.
I guess the 10,450 is the km mark, but I don't know where that is.
Not exactly visible, are they! sneaky

The listed one looks favourite..... "My" camera is not on the map but it, the map, is well out of date (2014).
