I went through Malaga about 6 months ago. To access the non Schengen area I had to go through Border control which was after the main security area and duty free/restaurant area.
There were around 12 positions for passport inspection, but less than half were open and there was a a queue. We got there early, we queued for around 15 minutes but the queue increased quite quickly. There were people on flights to Turkey and other non EU destinations in a flap as they’d left it late to get through border control and their gate closure times were fast approaching.
There’s a small choice of restaurants, cafes etc in the gates after border control, I’d aim to get the formalities sorted soon after arriving at the airport because it didn’t seem like the Border control staff were going to break sweat or be bothered if people missed their flights.
