This trip showcases the convenience of train travel in Europe, offering scenic views and a bustling medieval market surprise at the final stop.

❤❤ reminded me how much I love living in Spain. One of my favorite places was Jerez de La Frontera. The Gypsy Market, sherry bodegas, and Féria! Good times!

Hi Evan, I love how you show how to get around by different translations, thank you. I do love seeing what’s easily reachable by the coastal trains and buses to see along both, west and East of Malaga. Keep on going with this.

I used to use the Malaga Fuengiola line regularly 40 years ago, my local station was El Pinillo the
line as you would expect has been dramatically upgraded since I was last there.

Great video! Your style is very relaxed and chilled out. I also live on the Costa del Sol, a bit further along in Estepona and can confirm it’s such a great lifestyle here.

Great video! I would have just liked a time line. How long did it take to get from start to finish. Keep up the wonderful videos.

En verano hace mucha calor al menos en Sevilla, debes venir cuando florecen los naranjos, es un espectáculo de luz y aroma

Evan, muchas gracias por compartir con nosotros tu viajecito a estos hermosos pueblos, cerca de Málaga. Me encantó. ❤

I live in Benalmadena pueblo . The trains are absolutely amazing on this line . Hopefully they can fulfill their promise and extend it further from Fuengirola to Marbella.

I will be in Malaga this December and am interested in getting to the Rock of Gibraltar. Can it be done by train?

Great Video! 👏👏👏👏

I live in Torremolinos, you should take the bus up to Mijas Pueblo, really nice mountain town.

@MikeS29 8 months ago

Hey! El Pinillo is my stop, we live close enough to walk to Torremolinos center, the beaches, or Benalmádena Arroyo de la Miel. Enjoying your channel. One quick note on Benalmádena is you stress the syllable with the accented á, so it is “ben el MAD eh na.” Cheers! Thanks for sharing!

I would like to see travel trip to Cordoba.

Very nice. Well done! Some comments as I have lived in the area. For single tickets: One can pay directly with the debit/credit card at the entry point of the station (just pass the card instead that the ticket you can buy at the machine). It is the same cost than you would pay for a single ticket and rather convinient. Just remember to pass the same credit/debit card on your way out. Other useful info: Torremolinos is the gay mecca, Benalmádena has an Atlantis look marina worth the visit and I like Fuengirola because it is flat.. so easy to walk by. My parents retired there and it was super easy for them to go by the city. Genarlly speaking, weather is fantastic in the autumn/winter/srping months. Summers are hot but palatable (beach, aircon everywhere, swimming pools, a lot of fun and action in the summer....)No wonder it is a booming area.
