Coastal Train News (Malaga-Algeciras)

The Costa del Sol train is a step closer to becoming operational. The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility has just tendered the drafting of the feasibility study for the train on the Costa del Sol between Nerja and Algeciras.

The dream of connecting the Costa del Sol with the Campo de Gibraltar through a state-of-the-art train seems closer than ever. According to the Government of Spain along with the Junta de Andalucía and the Gibraltar authorities, the new coastal train that will connect Málaga with Algeciras will be operational by 2028. This revolutionary project is based on the Japanese Shinkansen technology, known for its bullet trains, and will cover the 180 kilometers of the journey in just 45 minutes, with nine stops at major urban centers in the region.

The route will include stops in Fuengirola, Marbella, Estepona, Casares, Manilva, Sotogrande, La Línea, Gibraltar, and will end in Algeciras.
