This is the Torreblanca train stop on the line from Malaga to Fuengirola. It's the third last stop before Fuengirola train station after travelling from Malaga or the Malaga airport train stop. The next stop after Torreblanca and before Fuengirola is the Los Boliches train stop. Travelling from the Torreblanca train stop towards Fuengirola, the journey to Fuengirola train station takes 5 minutes.
If you are travelling to the Malaga airport train stop or coming from Malaga city, the trains leave and arrive at Torreblanca train stop every 20 minutes. The journey to Malaga airport takes approximately 28 minutes and 42 minutes to the Maria Zambrano train station in Malaga.
The Torreblanca hotel is right next to the train stop, just to the left of the picture. A flight of steps leads down from the bridge over the train line and if you time it right, you can walk out of the hotel and be in Fuengirola 10 minutes later.
There's a great little cafeteria next to the platform, you can just see it behind the platform. Don't hurry your drink if you hear the train coming, have another cold beer and wait for the next train. You are in Spain now and I recommend that you just take it easy and enjoy life. There'll be another train along in twenty minutes!

Thank you very much for the information. Having visited Torreblanca for the last 5 years - this year for the first time we are not hiring a car so the time schedules for the trains are very helpful. Thanks Hayley and family.
Hi Hayley, thank you very much for letting me know that the Malaga airport train timetable has been useful. It's a great way of getting up and down the coast and puts Malaga city in really easy reach for an interesting and easy day's outing like never before.
Have a really great holiday and just let me know I can help at all. I appreciate your writing in.
Best wishes from Marbella Mike
Can we get a train to betania Hotel in Benalmadena from the airport ?
How Long will it take is to get there
Thanks for writing in, yes, take a train to Benalmadena / Arroyo de la Miel train station and then a taxi to the Betania Hotel.
When you come out of Arrivals at Malaga airport, walk straight out across the big open area outside towards the train station. You can get tickets from the ticket office or from the vending machine on the platform. You won't have to wait long because the trains run every 30 minutes. Keep an eye on your bags.
At Benalmadena /Arroyo de la Miel train station, take a taxi from the taxi rank outside down to the hotel, it will be a minimum fare, perhaps €8 during the day.
I would estimate not more than 25 total minutes train and taxi travelling time if you don't have to wait long at Malaga airport for the train.
The hotel is very well situated, near the beach. I go to the Benalmadena branch of Atenas Gym just a couple of blocks away every Tuesday evening so I know the area well.
I hope you have a great holiday. Best wishes from Marbella

Hi Mike
Is there a taxi rank at Torrebblanca station. Im coming in from Malaga and my hotel is the Gardenia park.
Cheers Bruce
Hi Bruce
I had to wait earlier this year in the car park at the Torreblanca train station while my wife was doing line dancing in the Torreblanca hotel which backs right onto the station car park.
I don't remember seeing a taxi rank but taxis were coming and going. There's a great little cafeteria as you get off the train if you have time for a cold beer while you recover from your travels and I'm sure the owner would phone for you.
If you don't have time for a pitstop, walk up the steps to the front of the Torreblanca hotel about 100metres from where you get off the train and there are always taxis waiting outside. If they are all out, ask the receptionist on duty to call you one.
I hope you have a great trip Bruce and thanks very much for writing in.
Best wishes from a thankfully cooler Marbella.
Mike
Mike,
Like Bruce, I'm going to the Gardenia Park. Is it within walking distance on a Saturday night ?
Hi Tindallfield, thank you very much for writing in and I'm really sorry for the delay in replying. I was away and on top of that had computer problems. I hope this doesn't come too late.
I've just phoned Gardenia Park Hotel to check and the duty receptionist told me that the nearest train stop is Torreblanca. She said it was only about seven minutes walk. I hope that helps you.
Here's the full address:
Hotel Gardenia Park
Av de Carvajal, 2,
29640 Fuengirola, Spain
Tel: +34 952 66 00 00
Thanks again for writing in, have a great stay.
Best wishes from Marbella. Mike
