Benalmadena Transportation

If you can’t wait to get to Benalmadena’s famous beaches and theme park, you’re certainly not alone. See the best ways to get to and from the airport, around Benaldmadena, and to the surrounding areas (whether you’re traveling on a taxi, train, or bus.)

Take the Train in Benalmadena

Tourists in this area recommend the trains in Spain because they tend to cater to all schedules. They run often, meaning you probably won’t have to wait more than 20 minutes if you miss one. They’re also clean and safe, and they definitely save you money over cabs and rented cars. Just make sure to keep your ticket with you otherwise you won’t be able to get through the turnstile.

Take a Cab from the Airport

If you’re looking to get from the Malaga Airport to Benalmadena, it’s likely best to take a taxi. This ensures you’ll get to where you’re going without incident, plus they’re easy to catch (even if the lines may get long during tourist season.) One tip is to book online to save yourself some hassle. This way there’s no haggling or confusion with the driver. Also, it may save you some waiting time, too!

Try the Bus

There are mixed reviews about the bus in terms of convenience and speed, but it is possible to catch one in Benalmadena. The general consensus seems to be that it’s going to take you a decent amount of time if you’re hoping to take the bus. Buses both take longer, and they’re not necessarily easy to read in terms of the schedule or find in the areas you would most want them to be. There is a regular service though on the coast road in Benalmadena to popular spots like Estapona or Fuengirola.

Rent a Car to See More Than Benalmadena

If you’re planning to hit a variety of places around Europe, then renting a car might be the easiest route you take. While it’s more expensive, it will allow you to travel whenever you want, and will always give you a convenient place to put your bags. If you’re planning to just stay in and around the area, then you can likely get away with cabs or the train.
