How do I get from Malaga Airport to Torremolinos?
Dear Personel at Marbella bus station, we are visiting Spain in July.I have a flight to Màlaga and a hotel in Torremolinos.
1) How can I get to the hotel from Màlaga Airport by bus? 2) Is it possible to take the Marbella / Malaga Airport Bus and then get off in or near Torremolinos? Is there a bus stop in Torremolinos? 3) If not, please help, what can I do then?
Best regards Adam

Take a taxi to Torremolinos.

Hi Adam

Torremolinos is very close to Málaga airport and you could catch the train from Malaga Airport to Torremolinos but then you might have to walk a long way from the train stop in Torremolinos to your hotel because I don't think there are taxis waiting permanently at the Torremolinos train stop.

There isn't a convenient bus service directly from Malaga Airport to Torremolinos and you would have take a bus from the airport and go to the main Málaga Bus Station in the centre of Malaga which is in the opposite direction to Torremolinos and from there, take another bus back to Torremolinos, actually passing the airport on the way back. Or you could walk one kilometre through the congestion and new airport construction to the bus stop on the main road outside the airport and then wait for the same Malaga to Torremolinos bus which might or might not stop next to the San Miguel factory.

Unfortunately the Malaga Airport to Marbella Bus Station bus takes the toll road and does not stop in Torremolinos.

So the best and easiest way to get to your Torremolinos hotel from Malaga Airport is by taxi. I don't think it will be more than about €10 but check with the driver when you get in. It is only about 10 to 15 minutes by taxi at the most. There are always hundreds of taxis waiting outside the airport.

When you know where your hotel is, on the way back, you can use the train or check here for Torremolinos bus schedules or on this page for all other bus timetables on the Costa del Sol

Best wishes from us at gomarbella Adam and I hope you have a great visit.

PS I don't work at the Marbella Bus Station although I am happy to say that it sometimes feels like it.

Can you give me information about a bus service from MALAGA AIRPORT TO TORREMOLINOS timetable to and from the two destinations and where the bus stops are? This would be greatly appreciated

Hello Mick

Thank you for your contact with www.gomarbella.com   Sorry not to reply earlier but I was away in Germany for the weekend.

The problem is that there isn't a direct service from the airport to Torremolinos, you have to go all the way into Malaga to the bus station and then back basically along the same route to Torremolinos in another bus.

The train might be a lot faster if you know where your destination is or if it is near the train station. There are trains every 30 minutes into Torremolinos from Malaga airport. The train would be a good way to get back to the airport once you know how near you are to the train station.

I would say a taxi is the fastest option for your arrival, then, once you are settled in, sort out the return by bus.
If this doesn't help you enough, please let me know!
