Car Rentals

Car Rental Agencies are plentiful in the Costa Tropical. You can pick up a car at any of the major airports, Malaga, Granada, or Almeria or book a car from one of the smaller towns along the coast.

If you have a specific company you would like to use, most major car brands are available for hire in the area; Avis, Enterprise and Alamo... just to name a few.

Buses

One of the great things about Europe is that the buses are large, comfortable and run all day from the largest cities to the smallest of towns. Being just 45-minutes from two large cities, Malaga and Granada, means that there are buses coming and going all the time.

Trains

With three large cities nearby, there are three large train stations available in Malaga, Granada, and Almeria.

Airports & Airport Shuttles

For those traveling in groups, with large families, or with extra luggage there are several shuttle services operating in the area.

Taxis

Another easy way to get around is by Taxi. Most of the Costa Tropical towns are just minutes away, so it's an inexpensive alternative if you need to get somewhere fast or prefer not to wait for the bus.

Each town has one or two designated taxi stands where you can find a taxi, or you can call and have one pick you up.

Ports & Ferries

There are two ports in the Costa Tropical, one large and one small. The Motril port houses many large boats and has several ferry services that go back and forth to Morocco.

The Puerto Deportivo Marina del Este is nestled within a cove beside the beautiful Playa Berengueles in the village of La Herradura and is popular for sailing and diving expeditions.
