Visitors
to the Costa del Sol are not going to have any difficulties in getting
about. Coach companies offer routes to almost everywhere.
Bus
service in the province is quite ample. In Málaga capital, as well as
in main municipalities, a bus-station exists from which numerous private
companies operate. The main bus-station is departure and arrival point
for all long distance and interurban routes. Routes of less than 30
kilometers start from another important bus stop at Muelle Heredia in Málaga
(next to the Port).Daily buses leave for: Torremolinos, Benalmádena,
Churriana, Rincón de la Victoria, Portal de San Cayetano and
Campanillas. It is also a stop for some of the bus routes that start at
the main station. Urban bus service is provided by the public company
Empresa Municipal de Transportes that maintains an ample network
throughout the capital. Another possibility to discover the beauties of
Málaga is onboard the Tourist Bus, which leaves every half hour between
9.30 and 19.30 hours from the Paseo del Parque, the Port, the Post
office and the main bus-station. It features two routes: The "Red
Route" presents the main monuments of the city and the "Blue
Route" leads to the botanical garden of the Finca de la Concepción.
Taxis
normally operate inside the city limits and between cities. There
are not many illegal taxis in Málaga, but it is always a good idea to
be cautious. The official taxis are white vehicles identified with a
blue stripe, a green light and have an identification badge with the
word TAXI. A badge with the letters SP (Public Service) should also be
visible. Fares within the city are calculated with a meter, but all
other journeys have a fixed price, which should be agreed upon before
setting off.
In
the airport of Málaga, major national and international car rental
companies offer their services, which can be contracted from your home
country by fax or e-mail. In any tourist center the visitor finds ample
information on that topic. There are also companies renting chauffeur
driven cars, as well as luxury cars and limousines.
The
Costa del Sol does not dispose of a metro, although there is a highly
efficient local train service between Málaga and Fuengirola leaving
every 30 minutes. There is also a regular train service from Málaga
capital to other destinations throughout the province. The visitor finds
comprehensive information on all routes in Málaga's train station
-Estación de RENFE-.
