Planning to travel from Malaga Airport to Nerja by bus? You can take an ALSA airport service or travel via M\u00e1laga city and catch an onward bus to Nerja. In this guide, we explain both options and why we recommend booking a private airport transfer with Casasol Holiday for an easier start to your holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For guests who want an easier arrival, we recommend arranging an airport transfer with Casasol Holiday. Here is how the bus journey works and what to consider before choosing your transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a direct bus from M\u00e1laga Airport to Nerja?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Aena lists an ALSA connection between M\u00e1laga Airport and Nerja. Search for your travel date on the ALSA website<\/a> using M\u00e1laga Airport as your departure point and Nerja as your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the available departures carefully: a bus leaving from M\u00e1laga city is not the same as a bus leaving from the airport. Before booking, allow enough time after landing for passport control, baggage collection and finding your stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the airport departure does not suit your flight, you can travel into M\u00e1laga and catch an onward bus to Nerja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get from M\u00e1laga Airport to Nerja via M\u00e1laga<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Travelling via M\u00e1laga involves two separate journeys. Plan both before you fly so you know where to change and how much time you have between departures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Travel from the airport to M\u00e1laga bus station<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can take the Airport Express bus, Line A, towards M\u00e1laga and get off at the stop serving the main bus station. Check the current stops and timetable with EMT M\u00e1laga<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option is the C1 commuter train towards M\u00e1laga. Get off at M\u00e1laga Mar\u00eda Zambrano, next to the main bus station, and continue on foot to your bus departure point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The train is useful for this first part of the journey, but there is no train connection all the way to Nerja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Take an ALSA bus from M\u00e1laga to Nerja<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ALSA operates daily services between M\u00e1laga and Nerja. Search your date on ALSA\u2019s M\u00e1laga\u2013Nerja route page<\/a> and select a departure from the main bus station if that is where you plan to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journey times vary by service and stops, so check the duration shown for your chosen departure. Remember that your total travel time also includes getting from the airport to M\u00e1laga and waiting for your next bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Plan the last part of your journey in Nerja<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Check the arrival stop on your ticket and how you will reach your accommodation from there. Depending on your property\u2019s location and your luggage, you may want to arrange a local taxi rather than walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does the bus from M\u00e1laga Airport to Nerja cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cost of travelling from Malaga Airport to Nerja by bus depends on the service and fare available for your travel date. If you change in M\u00e1laga, remember to include your airport bus or train ticket and any transport needed to reach your accommodation in Nerja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When comparing the bus with a private transfer, consider the total cost for everyone travelling, alongside the number of changes and the time between connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
