Are you from Spain or familiar with the different areas? I'd love to pick your brain perhaps.
One advantage of that area for me is that I can get a direct flight from Tallinn to Malaga and that area is supposed to be good for the totality anyway.
However I'm neither King Fahd nor a gangster so if there's a cheaper place that's still fairly easily accessible for me and will have totality, I'd love to know
The eclipse in 2027 is at 8am ish.
You could stay 1h north of Malaga, get up at 6am, drive and avoid a lot of costly accommodation.
I know the north of Spain, from the southernmost region (Andalusia) I have only been to Córdoba, which is beautiful but far from the eclipse.
I would look for any place that does not live exclusively on tourism, Cadiz or Algeciras, or rather some town that is not on the coast, like Jerez de la Frontera or Ronda, also El Ejido, which lives on greenhouses, but I think it has a little less time for totality.
I can't help you about the flights from Tallinn, but in any case that whole area is not very big, with a rental car from the airport you should be able to get around in a very short time.
