I'll be the first to say, public transportation has never been my thing with the exception of the…read moreSouth Shore in and out of Chicago :) The bus station in Malaga, Spain has been a lovely first experience for me. With several trips in and leaving, I've had time to be able to fairly look at the overall experience vs a one time trip. The bus weaves through Malaga giving you time for a bit of window shopping (from inside the bus) on the way to the station. The bus we use, prefers exact coin change which is collected as one boards. The bus station appears older and as I've found typical in Spain - it is clean and they clean frequently. The train station is also there. Two public washrooms, one on each end of the building. For some reason, the cleaning team seems prefer clean the closest bathroom right during morning commuter peak and evening commuter out peak times, plan accordingly. Due to the heavy consistent traffic flow, do not expect a spotless bathroom, The hand air dryer was not functional (bathroom furthest back) when I have used it. The front washroom has never been open - constantly being cleaned - each time I have been there morning and evening. There are several little mom and pop places selling food, drinks, ice cream, one also sold hotdogs. Prices are higher than at grocery store as is expected. Staff has been friendly. One was changing a phone card for someone and accepted our coins so we wouldn't have to wait. Waiting outside there are benches with a roof overhead. Clean enough for me to still allot 5 stars. Buses have numbered slots to pull in and signage with bus arrivals/departures is prominently posted outside by benches. Bonus - dining, cig shop, wonderful malls, ATMs all a quick crosswalk, maybe two.

The bus station in Malaga is next to the train station in the center of Malaga. A bit west of the…read morehistoric center. The station can be reached by taxi, foot, ride share, buses, etc. The easiest thing is to buy a ticket online using a mobile app, that way you can add it to your iPhone wallet and show right away. There are several companies working out of here, but the main ones are ALSA and Interbus (Damas). As you walk into the main entrance, there is an information desk that will not sell tickets but tell you where to go. TV screens also show the name of the destination (or arrival) and which platform it is located. Not great options for food or shopping, but the restrooms are clean and free.

I despise Málaga Airport with a passion. It always feels overcrowded, with wayyyy too many lines…read moreand constant chaos. Passport control is slow and disorganized. Plan to arrive much earlier than you normally would because you truly never know how long things will take. Communication can also be frustrating if you don't speak Spanish. Many staff members speak limited English, and the ones who do aren't always the most welcoming. This airport seriously needs better structure, clearer signage, and take a course on hospitality. If you can, avoid at all costs!!

Bad weather in Granada forced us to cut short our day trip & return to Malaga early. Instead of 6pm…read moredeparture on ALSA we paid a 2.80e change fee to switch to a 5pm bus. The departure gate board indicated gate 11 for bus departing to Malaga. The Granada station looked run down although, to its credit, its has an escalator to move you to street level & there's a departure gate overhead board. We kept waiting for ALSA bus. Finally a Avanza/Portillo bus showed up at gate late. The driver quickly disappeared. We weren't even sure that's our bus! There's no ground personnel to help; tough luck if you don't speak Spanish. Large crowd of passengers amassed near the front of the bus. Thank god we finally got on board;ALSA switched us but did not tell us. Found seat numbers on overhead blue lamp. Older crowded bus. No WiFi. Bus departed at 515pm. As if making up for lost time driver moved bus at fast pace albeit skillfully. Glad to be safely back to Malaga. Station that's cleaner and newer. Avanza Portillo buses are common sights in southern Spain.

I do not like their APP much, it is not very good about real time arrivals nor departures. It does provide excellent route information but it's basic. Still it is helpful. Anyone can buy a Bonobus at any of the Tobacco stands (10 trips for about $5) which is a great deal compared to the single ticket for about $1.5 Just know where you are, where you are going and use the APP to help you find your way. I had also used Rome2Rio and that has given me route numbers to use...which was helpful.
