Nerja Tourist Train

Nerja Train
** The Nerja Train ➜ Timetable & Stops

If you have kids (or even if you don't!) the Nerja "Tourist Train" is a great way to get to the Nerja Caves. This is not a typical "Tourist Train" that you might find in other towns... it's less of a "tour" and more of a nice ride to get you from point A to point B.

The train starts from the 'Plaza Fabrica de los Cangrejos', not far from the Balcon de Europa, and will take you to the Nerja caves. It doesn't make many stops (only the town of Maro) and is not "hop-on, hop-off" but it will pass by some of Nerja's top sites, like the Barco de Chanquete and the Eagle Aqueduct. It sometimes stops for photos.

The Nerja Train runs from the village of Nerja, to the village of Maro, and then on to the Nerja Caves. It's available all year long and runs on the hour. The trip takes about 30-minutes but will vary depending on traffic during the summer and holidays.
