If walking is not your thing for whatever reason, there are buses which will take you around both Torremolinos and neighbouring areas including Malaga, Ronda, Marbella, Estepona as well as far as Granada and Tarifa. The main bus station is at Calle Hoyo and the Portillo Bus Company travels just about everywhere on the Costa del Sol.

Getting around Torremolinos is much easier than I imagined just from reading the tourist books. Walking is they key although you will find in some areas quite a lot of steps to negotiate. Some are not too bad if you are stopping at the shops along the way, you can take your time.

The cable car rises up around 700 metres to the Calamorro Peak. The journey takes around 12 mins in a car which takes 4 people. The view from the top is spectacular and on a clear day can stretch down as far as Gibraltar and across to Morocco and the Rif Mountains. You can walk the distance to the cable car station just behind Tivoli Amusement Park.. At the top there is a café.

The main arterial road through Torremolinos from the Northeast is Calle Hoya which then becomes Avnida Palma de Mallorca.
From Malaga, take the N-340/E-15, Marbella take N-240/E-15.
Madrid is 550kms to the north via E5, E15 and E902.

Trains travel from Malaga’s main train station on a regular basis. There are also trains running from the airport between the hours of 6.15am and 10.43pm. You can also take a 3 hour train ride from Madrid.

If travelling by air you will most likely fly into Malaga Airport which is only around 7kms for Torremolinos. The airport supports flights internally from Spain as well as around all of Europe. Taxi’s can then take you from Malaga’s airport to your hotel in Torremolinos. The rate is fixed with an airport surcharge. There are also hotel shuttle buses operating.
Torremolinos has a small airport but this is used mainly for charter flights.

While there is a mainline train station in Malaga connecting with the major Spanish cities, it is the local line that most people are interested in. This runs from Malaga to Fuengirola and has stops at all the main tourist areas. The carriages are clean and spacious and the next stop is always shown in lights above every door making them easy to use for visitors.
Examples of prices are as follows:
Hans took the train one way from Torremolinos to the Airport 1,05 Euro
We took the train to the Fuengirola Flea Market - Torremolinos to Los Boliches return 1.70 Euro
We took the train to Fuengirola to meet Carmen & Stace one way 1.30 Euro
Tip: If you plan to go both ways ask for returno, which is cheaper and you don't have to get in line again.

We usually have no need to rent a car while in Torremolinos, as public transportation is so good. But this time, Hans wanted to take a drive up the northern coast to the Costa Blanca, and see the area where he once lived and worked forty years ago.
We checked out a few car rental companies and decided upon the local Betica Travel, which arranges car rentals for you. We booked the cheapest car, a Ford Ka which was 97 Euros for three days, plus SCDW (insurance) of 5 Euros per day.
As we wanted to leave early Tuesday morning, a young man from BRAVO CAR RENTAL came to the Hotel Lobby Monday night and delivered our car to us. We got an upgrade to a four-door Ford Focus Diesel - nice little car. They would pick it up Thursday night at our apartment. Great service.
The car was excellent and had good mileage. We drove 1241 kilometres and it only cost us 70 Euros in diesel gas for the trip.
