Car Hire in Torremolinos - Getting to Torremolinos
The provinces main airport is in Malaga and is the 5th busiest in Spain. Most major destinations can be reached, both domestic and international, and it is easily accessed from the city.
From the airport to Malaga, take the train towards Fuengirola or wait for a bus. This is much cheaper than taking a taxi all the way from the airport.
There are also regional airports in Almeria, Sevilla, Gibraltar, Jerez though these offer mainly domestic services.
Trains are a slightly more expensive option, but always the most scenic way to travel, the Talgo train or the fast AVE being the best ways to enjoy the Spanish scenery flying by.
Travelling by bus is often problematic throughout Spain. You usually have to queue just to find out when a bus arrives or leaves and often you can only buy a ticket 20 minutes before departure.
There are some private bus companies which can be more helpful, but generally there is not enough competition to make these services actually provide a good service!
For big bus trips try the Daibus service. Cheaper than train or plane if you want to go from the Costa del Sol to Madrid and usually quite reliable. Buses leave from Marbella and take you right into Madrid in 8 hours with one stopover on route.
The coastal roads are perfect for people driving Spain at their own pace. However, accidents on the N340 Coast del Sol road are often the cause of long delays and travellers should be patient.
