Renfe will reinforce the Cercanías service during the early hours of the Málaga Fair

Renfe will introduce early morning trains –or night owls– at the Feria de Málaga. To facilitate the return home, it has increased by 67 the number of frequencies available from August 16 to August 24. Thus, there will be 1,182 trains, a 6% increase from the 1,115 that would operate during a normal week. This amounts to over 715,000 total seats.

Renfe indicates that this special reinforcement plan to cater to the expected increase in mobility adds a total of 40,000 additional seats to the usual offering. On the line C-1 from Málaga Centro Alameda to Fuengirola, services are scheduled at 5:00 AM, 5:20 AM, 5:40 AM, 5:55 AM, and 6:30 AM, from Saturday 16 to Sunday 24, inclusive, and every 20 minutes, from 6:30 AM to 11:30 PM, from Saturday 16 to Saturday 23, inclusive. That is, throughout the day the shortest possible headway is maintained, without reduction during off-peak hours.

From Fuengirola to Málaga Centro Alameda, the usual service is maintained throughout the day and the frequency of 20 minutes will continue from 10:20 PM to 12:20 AM, from Saturday 16 to Saturday 23.

On the line C-2 Málaga Centro-Alameda-Álora, a special service will run with a departure from Málaga at 11:40 PM from Saturday 16 to Saturday 23, inclusive. Additionally, the 5:44 AM train, which usually runs from Monday to Friday, will also operate on Saturdays 16 and 23 and Sundays 17 and 24, to facilitate the return from the Fair to the municipalities of the Guadalhorce Valley.

Victoria Kent station is one of the closest to the fairgrounds of Cortijo de Torres, being just a few minutes' walk away, making the Cercanías trains one of the most recommended options for visiting the fairgrounds without opting for private vehicle use.

Renfe reminds that using the Cercanías trains represents a commitment to a collective mode of transportation that is environmentally friendly, as they operate on 100% renewable energy, while also avoiding urban congestion and reducing accidents, emissions, and noise.
