Travelling to Malaga

For the motorist, the highways in Spain are well developed, safe and easy to negotiate. The coastal roads are perfect for people driving through Spain at a leisurely pace, and afford excellent views and stunning countryside scenery. Accidents, however, are common on N-340 Costa del Sol and often cause long delays. From Torremolinos and Marbella, you can drive east along the N-340/E-15 to Malaga. If you're coming from the east at the end of the Costa del Sol, take the N-340/E-15 west to Malaga.

Travelling by rail is also convenient, and a popular choice for those plying the southern route towards the Costa del Sol. Domestic rail services in Spain are renowned for their reliability, efficiency and value for money. The Talgo or the fast AVE trains offer particularly scenic journeys. Services are regular down the coast from the major centres of Barcelona and Madrid. The journey from Madrid to Malaga is approximately 4 hours.

Bus, despite affordable prices and the well established European and domestic network, is the least popular means of transport for the majority of visitors, as distances are long and journeys can be arduous. Also, tickets typically cannot be purchased in advance. The Daibus service offers a cheap and reliable service from the Costa del Sol to Madrid. Buses leave from Marbella and take you directly to Madrid in about 8 hours.

For those arriving by air, Malaga International Airport is the most convenient choice. One of the busiest hubs in Spain, the airport is serviced by frequent flights from all major European cities. Domestic connections are frequent and include flights to and from the Balearic Islands. The city is easily accessible from the airport, with regular taxis plying the route. Alternatively, frequent trains run to Fuengirola, where taxis and buses can take you to Malaga.

Daily ferries ply the route to Malaga from the northern African town of Melilla, and the journey takes approximately 8 hours.
