KingfisherApartmentsGetting around Benalmádena
Walk to the park and coast, use nearby taxis and buses, or connect with the C1 train for Málaga, the airport, Plaza Mayor and Fuengirola.
Kingfisher Apartments
Kingfisher sits between Parque de la Paloma and the seafront in Benalmádena Costa. Beaches, cafés, everyday shops and several attractions are straightforward on foot, while Puerto Marina is an enjoyable promenade walk or short ride away.
For trips into Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena Pueblo or farther along the coast, choose the nearby taxi rank, local buses around Selwo Marina and Bil Bil, or the C1 train from Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel.
The C1 is Renfe’s Cercanías Málaga commuter train and opens up easy car-free journeys to Málaga Airport, Plaza Mayor, Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Málaga city. For adventures farther across Andalucía, change at Málaga María Zambrano for regional and high-speed services.

Everyday choices
Benalmádena stretches from the coast into the hills, so the best option changes with the destination, weather, luggage and mobility of your group.
The beach, promenade, Parque de la Paloma, Castillo El Bil Bil and Selwo Marina are the easiest starts on foot. Expect hills when heading inland towards Arroyo de la Miel or the Pueblo.
There is a taxi rank in the Benal Beach area. Radio Taxi Benalmádena also accepts bookings, including through its published WhatsApp channel; confirm the vehicle you need when travelling with children or bulky luggage.
Stops around Selwo Marina and Bil Bil connect the coastal corridor. The M-110 is useful for Puerto Marina, Torremolinos and Málaga; use the live network for other local routes and changes.
From Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel, the C1 runs towards Fuengirola in one direction and Torremolinos, the airport, Plaza Mayor and Málaga in the other.
A car is useful for mountain villages, flexible road trips and destinations away from rail. It is rarely necessary for a beach-and-attractions stay, and parking can be limited in busy periods.
Mix walking with public transport instead of defaulting to a car. Check current travel-card and contactless-payment options with the operator, as products and eligibility can change.
Destination shortcuts
Treat these as a starting point and check live conditions before you leave.
Reach Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel station, then take the C1 towards Málaga Centro-Alameda. Málaga María Zambrano is the interchange for wider rail travel.
Walk along the seafront for a relaxed journey, take a coastal bus from the Bil Bil area, or use a short taxi when heat or mobility makes the walk less appealing.
The Pueblo sits above the coast. A taxi is simplest; local buses are a good alternative when the live route and timing suit your plans.
Take the C1 from Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel towards Málaga and leave at Plaza Mayor. Check the last practical return before an evening visit.
Take the C1 from Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel towards Fuengirola. The same direction also serves Torremuelle, Carvajal, Torreblanca and Los Boliches.
Live information
Use the operator pages for current routes, times, fares and disruption rather than relying on a screenshot from an earlier holiday.

Ask KingfisherGood to know
No. Many Kingfisher stays work very well with walking, taxis, buses and the C1. Hire a car when your plans include road trips or destinations away from the public-transport network.
Not directly at Benal Beach. The C1 serves Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel, and a short taxi or local bus connection makes it easy to combine the train with your stay at Kingfisher.
Useful coastal stops are around Selwo Marina and Bil Bil, close to Benal Beach. Check the Málaga transport consortium for the best current stop, direction and time.
