Practical travel context

Travelling between Alhaurín el Grande and Fuengirola

Alhaurín el Grande is around 40 km from Fuengirola, and the drive typically takes 40 to 45 minutes via the A-366 towards Coín and then the A-7 along the coast, or via Cártama and the A-357 as an alternative. There is no railway station in the town, and no direct bus route makes the journey quick, so almost everyone travels by car or taxi. The road climbs and descends through olive and orange groves before eventually reaching the coastal plain, which makes the drive itself notably different in character from a coastal journey.

About Alhaurín el Grande

• Alhaurín el Grande is a traditional Andalusian pueblo blanco set among olive groves and orchards in the Guadalhorce valley.
• It sits inland of Coín and Alhaurín de la Torre, further from the coast than either of them.
• The town has a mixed local and international resident population, drawn partly by its rural setting and mild climate.
• There is no train service anywhere in this part of the Guadalhorce valley — road transport is the only option.
• The surrounding countryside is known for agriculture, particularly citrus and olives, rather than tourism.
