These are the prices to travel to Malaga during the August Fair by train, bus, or carpooling.

In the month of August, one of the most important celebrations of the capital takes place: the Feria de Málaga. This year it will be held from August 16 to August 23. For more than a week, the city will be adorned with lanterns and frills, with the two main hubs being the city center and the Real de Cortijo de Torres. Concerts, shows, and the Pilgrimage will be part of the festival's activity program. In these weeks, accommodation options have been decreasing, although it is still possible to find options for under 100 euros per day. Another aspect to consider is how to travel to Málaga during these dates. If you do not want to use your own vehicle, you can arrive by train, bus, or by sharing a car ride.

Traveling by bus to Málaga

On buses from the Malaga Transport Consortium (which connect different towns in the province), prices vary depending on the number of stops, as well as if discounts are available for large families, students, or retirees, among others. The single ticket can cost from 1.60 euros (for 0 stops) up to 6.25 euros with 4 stops. These buses connect the capital with Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Cártama, Alhaurín El Grande, Marbella, Antequera, or Alhaurín de la Torre, among others.

Leaving the province, you can reach Málaga by bus from Granada, with tickets costing between 8 and 14 euros. From Córdoba, there are trips starting at 7 euros. And between Jaén and Málaga, prices range from 10 euros to 25. Between Algeciras and the capital of the Costa del Sol, the trip can cost between 18 and 20 euros per person.

It's important to note that travelers aged between 18 and 30 can use the Summer Youth discount.

Trains from Madrid, Córdoba, Granada, or Sevilla

Another option to travel during the Fair are the trains. In the case of Renfe, the trip between Madrid and Málaga for the first weekend of the Fair offers tickets from about 26 euros to 95. With Iryo, for the same dates, there are tickets from 24 euros to 85. And with Ouigo, between 25 euros and 59 euros.

To travel by train between Córdoba and Málaga, prices with Renfe range from 18 to 59 euros. Iryo offers tickets starting at 15 euros, up to 81. And with Ouigo, the trip can also be made starting at 15 euros.

Renfe also provides connections to other Andalusian cities, such as Granada (with tickets starting at 18.50 euros) and Sevilla (starting at 20 euros per trip).

The Summer Youth discounts are also active for train travels.

Carpooling through BlaBlaCar

Another option to reach the Feria de Málaga is through shared travel, using platforms like BlaBlaCar. Although the number of listings increases as the dates approach (and there are still about two weeks left), there are already several trips published between Córdoba and Málaga, with prices ranging from 12 euros to 16.
