Tracy. Don't struggle with your luggage. You can take your trolley to the train station
and leave it by the ticket machines. Somebody going in the opposite direction will be
very pleased to return it !

9 times outta 10 if you book with a major TO (TC/DH etc) you get airport transfers included in the adult price of the holiday, therefore you get off the plane, find your rep and get on your coach...sorted 
you don't get £40 flights & a private villa,for £80,with a major tour operator
a train journey,is no hassle,for that price.sorted

so if I get the train to Benalmadena how far is it then to the binanza square? will I be able to walk it?
not sure where the square is but it's about 1 mile to the marina.
thanks
Arroyo / Benalmadena station to Bonanza Sq takes about 15 minutes to walk. I'm 65 years old and don't find it a problem.
Whether you can manage it or not depends on your personal circumstances !

long enough with luggage.
It does depend on how much luggage you have got but it is all down hill 
Hiya, thanks for the info on the train. Sounds good idea but as we are staying near benalmedena harbour do you know where we should get off the train and will we then be able to get a taxi easy to apartment (we are 5 adults & 1 toddler).
thanks, Renee xx
thanks, Renee xx
There should be taxis at Arroyo.
So Arroyo is the station we need? Thanks!!
yes, between 1 and 1.5 miles to drive so shouldn't be expensive.
the full name of the station is "Benalmádena- Arroyo de la Miel" although I doubt anyone has ever called it that in conversation!
Lol, thanks, very helpful xx
There is a minimum fare of €5 (10% more after 10pm) but you should be well within that going
from the station to the marina. The taxis are only licensed for 4 passengers so 5 adults + 1
toddler = 2x taxis !

After hours of fighting technology I've found a mapping system that knows where Benalmadena station is and which is prepared show it me without having to book a hotel or buy a SatNav from them first!! It even let me save a link to save the rest of you the hassle

If you're on dial-up it may take a couple of minutes to load but this is nothing compared to certain others!
the controls should let you scroll around and zoom, if you follow the railway line you'll find some places marked with a tilted "C" logo (looks like a London Congestion Charge symbol that's fallen over). These are local stations on the line from the airport and you might find one more convenient for where you are staying. For other resorts on the line try zooming out, centre it over the resort and then zoom in again.
