Hi there, Wayne! And welcome to the group. I think you'll find the ol' "Transportation between Madrid and Málaga" pretty well discussed in this forum. Use the SEARCH link above/right and type MADRID MALAGA as your keywords and you'll find MANY threads on the topic. I did it by bus and it took 6 hours each way with one stop at midway. Good luck and have fun!

Saludos, MadridMan smile

Check the RENFE link in MadridMan's Local Transportation section for train schedules and fares. The trip between Madrid and Malaga takes about 4 hours and 15 minutes using the Talgo 200 trains. The one way fare is 8,400 ptas (7,100 ptas for an early morning train). There is a 20% discount for a round trip.

There is also a 10 trip ticket for 57,000 ptas. The ten trips must be taken within a 3 month period.
