I have just came back from Malaga, the train is far the best way to get in to the city, I used my UK debit card, no need to queue up for a ticket, also used it on the buses, very handy. Four stops to Malaga Centro which is also called Alameda, very easy to navigate.
I did this trip back in 2019, but of course the old memory was a bit hazy. This great video has brought it all back into focus and I will confidently take the journey next month. Thanks for a VERY clear video
As of today 22.12.2024, you can’t buy a ticket if you don’t possess a renfe card which you can only get in the city. The machine no longer asks if you use renfe card or not assuming you use it.
@@TravellingTouristhello i have a question..i have bought 2 tickets via renfe app so is it possible tu use e-tickets instead of physical tickets just like you did? So for example i can show my tickets on phone im barrier only qr code and iam free to go? Thanks
I used my bank card to an unmanned station Los Boliches I thinks and got charged 360 + 360 plus 180 +180 . Never did get to the bottom of it . Also if you buy a paper ticket they charge 50c more per journey.
I didn't see anyone doing that and have only heard of that happening in London..... might as well give it a go I guess, you could always buy a ticket if it doesn't work :)
I didn't see or hear of any limit. We only had small bags and the interior of the train was spacious (although it did get crowded a bit). I think if it's excessive then maybe, but for the average traveller's luggage you won't have any problems.
@@TravellingTouristThank you for your reply. I am travelling with a backpack and a 20kg luggage. It should not be a problem. I have travelled quite a lot and never had an issue with luggages. I will keep searching and will ask someone at the train station.

Thank you! I heard you can just use your debit card to tap into the stations rather than getting a ticket, is this true?
I didn't see anyone doing that and have only heard of that happening in London..... might as well give it a go I guess, you could always buy a ticket if it doesn't work :)
For years, it has been possible.
Yes it's so much easier
You can just tap at the entry gate with a debit/credit card to bypass the queues.
Good to know, thanks :)
Thanks
No problem
Hi!
Is there a luggage limit on this renfe train?
I heard that AVLO has luggage limit and you need to purchase if you do have more luggage.
Thanks

Thanks for this video. Do I need to keep ticket to tap to exit? I need to transfer to Renfe to Seville. Thanks
Yes you do
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think it is cheaper when you buy 10Tickets? Maybe you need it later in your holyday...
Way to much effort. No need to buy a ticket. Just use a NFC Credit od Debit Card to Tap in & Tap out at the gates.
