Taxi: Taxis line up outside the arrivals hall, but beware of overcharging by checking
the sheet posted on the wall which lists destinations and fares. Elsewhere, taxis can be flagged down in the

takes approximately 20 minutes.

You can buy a ticket on the train. Trains run half-hourly to Fuengirola to the west and Malaga to the east.
If you are heading for Malaga, be sure you get off at the last station, Centro-Alameda, not the previous
stop Malaga-Renfe, which will land you at the main train station, a good 20-minute walk from the centre of
town. A service operates between the airport and city centre every 30 minutes.
