on February 21, 2008You can book and pay for tickets for bus journeys with Alsina Graells on www.alsa.es .The return fare (Malaga-Almunecar) is 12 Euro with a handling charge of 1.5 Euro. You can avoid the handling charge if you buy your ticket at the kiosk. The web site gives all the journey times of all the services in Spain and the pages are in English.
If you get the local metro train from Malaga airport into Malaga, get off at the penultimate stop, the Renfe main station (do not go to the terminus in Malaga centre). It is about an eight minute walk from upper level of the airport to the station. Price for the ticket was 1.2 Euro (Feb 08) from the ticket machine at the platform. At the Renfe station, it is a short five minute walk to the main bus station. The journey time from Malaga to Almunecar is about 90 minutes and there is no loo on the bus.
On the reverse journey make certain that the local train back to the airport is going to Fuengirola.
Two OAP with luggage and a four year old grandchild managed the journey without a problem.
The train to the airport runs every 30 minutes with a journey time of about 10 minutes. If you have time to kill, then better to do it in the shopping complex above the Renfe station where there are cafes rather than at the main bus station or the airport.
