Hi

I am coming to Fuengirola in about 4 weeks and want to know what the buses and trains are like? Some friends of ours are staying in Puerto Benas amd we would like to visit them.

Does any one have any links to bus/train timetables?
Any idea how much it cost to travel by bus/train?
Do the buses/trains run 7 days a week?
Is it a reliable service?

The buses try to run by timetable.(The coast road can be very busy)They are very cheap but can get crowded with about 25 standing! The train stations run a wee bit further back from the coast. They both run on 7 days and the service is crazy/reliable. :-)

No trains to Puerto Banus, yet. End of the line is currently Fuengirola. Good bus service, though. Timetable below. Yes, a 7-day service for buses and trains.

Thanks for your help, looks like we will be taking the bus - much cheaper than hiring a car. I just wanted to make sure it was feasible before we got there.
Thanks again
