Train only goes as far as Fuengirola but you can get a bus from around the corner from the station to Marbella. Good frequent service and cheap too. Sorry but I don't know where the station in Benalmadena is.

Diane the train station is in Arroyo, quite a walk from B.P...think your best bet would be the bus...

Hi Diane, Davanne is right, you would be better on the bus as it's direct and avoids the walk to Arroyo and the change over in Fuengirola you would need if you wanted to go on the train.

Here is a link to the Portillo timetable. Scroll down for times to Marbella. The cost each way is 3.28 Euros and takes about 55 minutes.
