malaga airport to sotogrande

Options
Hi 2 adults from malaga airport to sotogrande 7:00pm friday 12th september - returning 5:00pm tuesday 16th september - we have been quoted 130 euro each way for a taxi which will take 1hr 10 mins.


does anyone have any advice on how we could maybe cut the costs without going over say 2 hours for each journey ?

    It is quite a distance from malaga. Gibraltar is much closer. Have you already booked to fly to malaga?

    You could get the train from the airport at Malaga to Fuengirola, and a taxi from there to Sotogrande, and vice versa.

    Run every 30 minutes from 05:32 to 23:42. The fares for this journey are between €1,70 to €3,50
    The main website for the trains in Spain is https://www.renfe.es Click on this link for the local Malaga Trains from the airport into the city centre.
    Malaga Airport to Torremolinos - 5 stops
    Journey time around 10 minutes
    Malaga Airport to Benalmadena - 8 stops
    Journey time around 17 minutes
    Malaga Airport to Fuengirola - 13 stops
    Journey time around 35 minutes

    It would be cheaper and better to rent a car. Can either of you drive?

    Posting in the correct forum would help - This one is for reporting bargains, not asking for them!
