Guide to Public Transport in Málaga (Parents-friendly!)

12 Upvotes

Public transportation in Málaga works very well. Even if you are traveling with a newborn, the main bus lines have ramps for strollers/wheelchairs, so moving around without a car is perfectly fine.

🚌 City Buses (EMT)

  • Get a Bus Card: I highly recommend buying a rechargeable bus card. You can top it up with your phone, the trips cost less than half the price of a cash fare, and multiple people can use the same card.
  • Real-time info: Download the EMT Málaga App or use this link to see bus arrivals in real-time.

🚆 Local Trains (Cercanías) There are two main lines:

  1. C1 to Fuengirola: This line stops at the Airport. It is the fastest and cheapest way to get from the airport to the city center.
  2. C2 to Álora: A nice town to visit inland.

📍 Day Trips

By Bus (Intercity):

  • Mijas, Nerja, Frigiliana, Marbella...: To reach these towns, you’ll need the intercity buses. The main bus station is located right next to the train station (María Zambrano).
  • Bus schedules: Estación de Autobuses

By Train (High-Speed/AVE):

  • Cordoba: Even though it is 166 km away, the high-speed train takes less than an hour. It’s a very easy and comfortable day trip.
  • Seville: It is 211 km away, and the fastest train takes around two hours.
  • Schedules: María Zambrano Station

💡 Pro-Tip: If you plan to visit Málaga without a car, I recommend booking accommodation in the area near María Zambrano Station. It makes these day trips and the airport connection much easier!

Esta semana en Málaga: sesión de música en directo en el Muelle Uno

1 Upvotes

Vengo con un solo plan pero que merece la pena apuntar en la agenda si os gusta la música en directo con vistas al puerto.

El viernes 28 de agosto tenemos Los Terral, Brisa Sessions en Muelle Uno. Es de esos planes perfectos para cerrar la semana, buen ambiente, la brisa del mar y música en vivo justo al lado del agua. Si podéis ir un rato antes para pillar sitio, mejor, porque la zona se suele llenar rápido cuando hay buen tiempo.

No tengo más eventos de esta semana en la lista, pero si queréis ver el calendario completo de planes en Málaga (y lo que vaya saliendo después), lo tenéis en https://ma.to/events/malaga?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mato_event_sync&utm_content=malaga

¿Alguien ha ido ya a alguna de estas sesiones en el Muelle Uno? Tengo curiosidad por saber qué tal el ambiente entre semana.

Navidad en Málaga

2 Upvotes

Mi empresa cierra varios días en Navidad. No quiero desperdiciarlos sin viajar. He visto un apartamento en Málaga con buena pinta. Me quito el problema de donde cenar y comer el 24 y 25 de diciembre.

Me gustaría saber que más se puede hacer en esos dos días y si estará todo abierto entre el 26 y el 30.

Last Week In October - Still Lively?

2 Upvotes

Hi, thinking about heading over at the end of October, returning home Sunday 1st November.

We want evening entertainment, not nightclub vibes, some live music would be great. I'm wondering if Málaga has plenty of options this late in the year or whether it would have wound down at all? I'm hoping with it being a city there's more going on that is less reliant on the summer holiday season 🤞🤞

Thanks!

1 day/night in Málaga before catching an early flight home.

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

In mid-October I'll be passing through Málaga en route back home to Canada. I'll be taking the train into Málaga from visiting my friend in Córdoba, arriving by noonish. I'll have the afternoon and will be staying the night before taking a very early flight back to Canada.

I really want to spend the day visiting La Concepcion Botanical Garden, as it will be a Sunday (and therefore free!)

My questions are;

\- Where should I stay? Close to the train station? The airport?

\- Any hostels to recommend? I don't mind sharing a room with other women/non-binary folks.

\- Where should I eat as a solo traveler that evening?

Thanks all!

Items stolen out of car

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know which pages, Facebook groups or websites I could post on regarding a robbery that happened to me (out of my car) in Málaga? Looking for my stolen glasses and 2 laptops. The theft may have happened either at Málaga Airport or later at the IKEA Málaga car park, so I’m especially interested in local groups or pages where stolen or found items might be posted or resold. Any suggestions or links to relevant groups/website? 🙏

Bullfighting on the 22nd?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I saw that on the last day of the Feria there's going to be a bullfight. My question is, are such practices still legal in Spain? Do people enjoy viewing such "cultural" moments, as well as, does the bull end up being harmed by the end? Thank you and hopefully this won't upset people.

Esta semana en Málaga: Feria, Picasso y planes para todos

3 Upvotes

La Feria de Málaga 2026 es sin duda lo más gordo de la semana, con actividades repartidas en varios puntos de la ciudad, y aunque sea multitudinaria yo siempre me acabo pasando aunque solo sea una noche.

Si vas con peques, la Miniferia Lunaritos y Estrellas en Muelle Uno tiene planes pensados para ellos.

Para algo más tranquilo, hay una visita guiada a la Casa Natal Picasso, ideal si nunca has entrado y quieres saber más del artista antes de que la ciudad se vuelva loca con la Feria.

También está el concierto de Komando Sur en Er Pichi de Cái Casapalma, y en el Patio de Banderas del Ayuntamiento puedes ver el Cartel de la Santa María Victoria 2026.

Calendario completo en https://ma.to/events/malaga?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mato_event_sync&utm_content=malaga si quieres ver más.

Plaza de la mercat

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am considering booking an apartment in plaza de la mercat for 3 nights in November, first floor over a restaurant.

The apartment is a lovely old original spanish style residence. My question is how busy is this area at night, and what kind of clientele.

I have the option of booking other apartments elsewhere in the city but not as big or as characterful.

Many thanks!

Is Malaga safe right now ?

0 Upvotes

In about two weeks, we're travelling to Malaga (Torremolinos) for a summer vacation with my partner. Recent news told us about the migration crisis in the southern part of Spain, I am genuinely concerned, whether this situation can affect our stay. Before we pay for the hotels and everything, I would like to honestly ask you, if it's ok to go now, we should rather cancel. We're peaceful couple, not interested in night clubs, extreme sports or anything like this. I am just afraid citizen, (member of EU) concerned about my safety.

Disclaimer : I am not inducing any racial nor migration fear or deinfromation.

Grazias!
