Check your pick-up point first

Pick-up points differ per tour and per option. Tours from the coast typically serve towns between Málaga and Marbella, such as Torremolinos, Benalmádena and Fuengirola, but always select your town on the booking page and read the exact meeting point before you pay. If your town is not listed, the train along the coast to Málaga is an easy way to reach a Málaga departure.

How long does it take?

Allow six to eight hours in total. From the western end of the coast the day is longer than from Torremolinos, so bring water and a snack.

With a rental car

Driving gives you the freedom to add the reservoirs at Ardales or a white village. Combine a ticket with our guide to parking and the shuttle bus, and compare car rental in Málaga and on the coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some tours collect guests along the Costa del Sol. Availability depends on the tour and the date, so select your town on the booking page to see the pick-up options.

It is possible but slow: you need a train to Málaga and then the limited regional train to El Chorro. A tour with pick-up is far easier.

Roughly one to one and a half hours, depending on where you start.
