Hi
We are going to Torromolinos today 4pm we fly
When we land we are going to get the train into resort rather than a taxi
What we need to know is how will we know when to get off ?
Is there signs on the train telling you which stop to get off at?
Never done this before always got a taxi but there is only 3 of us thought we would try train.
Any info would be gratefull
Celine, Get a taxi.. It's not far (10 minutes) and the taxi driver will know where to drop you off. If you are near the beach the train station is one hell of a walk with cases if you get off the train at Torremolinos. Too many steps. OK if you are just out walking but definitely NOT with luggage. Also, you have to drag you cases over a footbridge to get to the train. It'll only be about 10 euros I think by cab.
The taxi is actually about €15-20 depending on the time of day, number of poeple and amount of luggage, whereas the train is €1.20 (£0.85). It is easy to know where to get off as there is an announcement board on the train and it tells you the name of the station as you come up to it. Torremolinos is after Los Alamos. I agree with the prefious person on it depending on where you are going. However, try it, the trains are very good. Tell me where your going and I will tell you which is best.
Why not get the train to Torremolinos and then get a cab (if necessary) from the train station to the hotel? Much cheaper this way.
I totally agree with sunnysenorita. Where you exit the station, if you walk 1 minute to the end of the pedestrian section you are at the taxi rank.
Hi thanks for your help
I know the hotel well. We stayed there last Wednesday (14th) the day before we completed on our house purchase out there. I know and like the hotel and it is 2 minutes from the train station and no steps or nasty hills. the assress is Avinida Isabel Manoja 9 and anyone will know where it is. Come out of the station and walk to the end of the pedestrian area carrying on the way you come out (only 1 exit) turn right and you will see a roundabout with a fountain on it. Cross the roan and turn right, take the 1st left after about 50 meters and the hotel is up there about 100 yards. As you turn right you will see it on the left. If you have the nerve, do me a favour and go into Banco Guipuzcoano (3 doors down) and tell Guxman that Phil Seymour is still am waiting for his Internet Banking pass codes.
Sorry the bank managers name was Guzman not Guxman but it would be a great help. His English is perfect.
Yes i will do that for you no problem we fly out at 4pm today so ill call in tomorrow for you
I know that the trains run every thirty minutes from Malaga but does anyone know what time they reach the airport station
12 and 42 minutes past the hour. They run between 7.30 and 23.30.
Thanks for the times does it take long to Torremolinos from the airport station.
About 10-15 minutes
Thanks a lot
