The train station in Málaga not only connects you to the airport but it also has secure lockers to store your stuff for the day. We put our luggage in a locker for 5 euros, totally worth it since our hotel wanted to charge us 50 euros to check out at 6pm.
We headed to the city center of Málaga and enjoyed a wonderful day walking, eating, and drinking.
We hung out till about 5 and then made our way back to the train station and hopped a train to the airport.
A couple things about the Costa del Sol and Andalucia:
- It is definitely worth your time to visit the Andalucia region of Spain. There is a lot to see, and the region is very diverse. Sevilla, Córdoba, and Granada are jam packed with culture and history. They are great 1-2 day destinations and are easily accessible by trains, buses, or cars.
- Many cities in Andalucia, especially Sevilla, are exceptionally welcoming of bikers. There are many bike paths and great bike rental services that are cheap and easy to use.
- Costa del Sol has many destinations and although Málaga might be the easiest to get to, it is not necessarily the most luxurious beach town. If you are looking for an extravagant beach getaway, Marbella and Estepona are better choices. If you are looking for a more cultural experience, Cadiz is likely your best option. Málaga is beautiful and worth a day trip, but to make the most out of this southern coastline it is best to move west towards Gibraltar.
- If for some reason you make the same mistake as we did and get stuck in Torremolinos or Fuengirola, bite the bullet, cancel your reservation, and change hotels/town.
