The train station is an easy place to find. Being centrally located, it is adjacent to the Malaga Bus Station. This makes the change from one mode of transportation to another, simpler and faster. It is also a few kilometers from the Malaga Port and Airport. Now, you can understand why I said earlier that you may have to use it at least once. This centrality makes it a commonly used means of transport in the city of Malaga.

There is a large underground parking at the train station. You will, however, park for a fee, also depending on the number of days you plan to leave your car there. The charges are, however, somewhat costly but if you an afford it, why not? You will be charged about 0,03 euros per minute and 1,85 euros per hour. On a positive note, the parking is well spaced and getting in and out is not as tedious. In short, there’s a smooth flow of traffic in and out.

Yes, you are not constricted to walking, using the bus or hiring a car. There are taxis lined up in this area ready for someone to hop in and off they go. You could get a taxi and get going, more so, if you are in a hurry. This applies mostly to those who may have had flight details and need to meet a particular deadline. You can beat it, do not despair. Get a taxi and be on your way.

It happens to us all. Sometimes we underestimate the cost of things, and you find yourself in a fix. You have no one to turn to for assistance. Well, the ATMs available, offer you a second chance. Get you card out and withdraw the amount needed to book your ticket, hire a car or eat out. You may even have a sudden urge to see a movie, don’t sit down there bored. Get the cash needed and get yourself into one of the theaters open. See that film and have a splendid time.
