You fly - unless you like arduously long land journeys. The likes of websites such as www.whichbudget.com will assist.

Yes, fly it. Expect to pay around 300 € for an AGP-LUX return. A bus won't be much cheaper and it will take like 30 hours...
High speed trains will be more expensive than flying.
Or take a Ryanair flight from Malaga AGP to Frankfurt Hahn. From Hahn there are frequent (about 10 a day) buses to Trier and Luxemburg (costs between 5 and 19 € one-way depending on the time of day).

I checked Ryanair's prices for mid-September: not dirt cheap and flight frequency is not daily; but you could find return fares for less than 100 € if you are a bit flexible.
The Hahn to Luxemburg bus tickets are cheaper if bought online www.flibco.com. The bus journey is about 1.5 to 2 hrs.

To fly will probably be the best option. Take a look at webs like Skyscanner or Kayak to see what's the cheapest option on your travel dates. Don't forget to look also for fares to airports close to Luxemburg!

Given your user name, I'm tempted to say there's a much cheaper way to get to Luxembourg...

Ok, that's great. Thanks a lot. I will look into flights to Frankfurt and the bus.

I am trying the site for booking the bus and am unable to enter a destination as the box blanks out after I write the FROM: Frankfurt bit in. Am I missing something?? There doesn't seem to be a contact area to ask them.

Looks like my only option is to go the day before as the cheapest flight I can find is with Ryan Air and it gets in at 23.50 so was thinking I'll have to stay at a hotel Wednesday night and get the bus in the morning. Was looking at the Pizzeria hotel as it looks cheap and has a free airport shuttle.

I put a shout out on couchsurfing but it's a bit cheeky to say I'm getting in at an ungodly hour and then leaving in the morning.

I tried the website and it worked, but you first have to tick the route button (the first radio button in "please select a route") and a date before the "To" field is activated. The "From" is Hahn Airport, not Frankfurt.
