| Hello, I am arriving at Malaga Airport and want to go by bus or train to
Hotel Vime Campanario de Calahonda |
| Take the train from Malaga Airport to the Fuengirola train station. There is a ramp from the first floor departures level at the airport so when you arrive on the ground floor level, take the lift in the airport to the first floor, walk out across the passenger drop off area and across the first floor open airport parking area to the far corner to your right. You will pick up the ramp there. The train leaves Malaga Airport every 30 minutes. Stand on the airport side of the open platform for Fuengirola. You can buy tickets from the automatic ticket vending machine at the bottom of the steps.
To go to Fuengirola train station or any of the stops in between Malaga Airport and Fuengirola train station stay on the platform on the left, nearest the airport. Look at the steps leading up to the platform. They are equally steep on the other side and it is impossible for wheel chair users to get up and difficult if you are pulling a heavy suitcase. This is the Malaga Airport train stop you are looking at. |

On the right of the picture below you will see the Fuengirola train station under the red sign which says Fuengirola. It is an underground station and there is an escalator for travellers to come and down. There is a taxi rank right outside the Fuengirola train station, you can see the white taxis parked next to the exit.
On the very left of the picture below you will see two cars parked. If you look just above the red car, you will see the back of a parked bus. It is parked next to the Fuengirola bus station. The lower building with the light brown roof is the Fuengirola bus station. You will see that it is only a short distance between the Fuengirola train station and the bus station if you are pulling a suitcase. There are also taxis parked opposite the bus station if you arrive by bus. |

Hotel Vime Campanario de Calahonda is on the busy CN 340 road between Fuengirola and Marbella and is well off the road. It is too far off the road to pull a suitcase from a bus stop to the hotel. The easiest and most practical way to get to the hotel from Fuengirola bus and train station is by taxi.
I asked Pablo in the Hotel Vime Campanario de Calahonda Reception office below how much a taxi would cost and he estimated from 20 to 25 €. |

There were a group of people outside the Hotel Vime Campanario de Calahonda reception office waiting in the shade of what looked like a bus shelter. I asked Pablo if there was an internal bus service and he said that they were waiting for taxis. From this hotel you would need a hire car or take a taxi or be fit enough to walk down to the bus stops on the CN 340.
If you feel like taking a bus one morning then the buses on the sea side of the road go towards Fuengirola and the buses on the inland side go towards Marbella.
