  Lovely trip from Benalmadena to Fuengirola and return. Staff were great and came round serving drinks. Plenty of seats and beautiful views of the coastline. A great day out.

• 5Great trip and highly recommended!

  A lovely, calm, relaxing experience and great way to see the lovely coastline of this part of the Costa del Sol; and a great way to spend an hour travelling from Fuengirola to Benalmadena. At £12 each (one way) it was great value for money. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. A very worthwhile trip to be had!

  Once you buy your ticket it's a race for a seat nothing short of pushing and running for a seat so be aware if you're with your family it's not first come basis it's a rat run

• 4Nice Way to Spend a Couple of Hours

  We decided to take the ferry to Fuengirola. We went on a Tuesday as that is the day of the large street market in Fuengirola. The ferry takes approximately an hour one way. We booked a return trip as it isn't much more than one way. (Could have taken the train back.) It was a nice trip and you see the whole coastline along the way. The staff was very good. You can get refreshments on board. There are plenty of seats inside and outside. It was a nice way to get from one town to the other. Just relax and enjoy the views.

About Malaga

Málaga is a sunny Andalusian port on the Costa del Sol, the birthplace of Picasso, with a Moorish fortress, city beaches and a thriving museum scene.

The Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress-palace, climbs the hill above the old town, with Gibralfaro Castle higher still and views over the port and bay. At its foot lie the Roman Theatre and the cathedral, nicknamed La Manquita, the one-armed lady, because its second tower was never finished.

Top-ranked sights in Malaga: Malaga Alcazaba, Malaga Cathedral (Cathedral de la Encarnación), Constitution Square (Plaza de la Constitucion).
