Update 1st October 2021
This service seems to have been cancelled and is not available from any train stations in the malaga area.
UPDATE 26th August 2021
Many people are commenting that the Train to the Caminito del Rey is not available at Malaga train stations. Others, however are saying they purchased the tickets at the train station without an issue. RENFE insist that the tickets are available as normal.
Another option for visiting the Caminito del Rey are the guided trips available from the Malaga area on the Get your Guide website.
The combi train ticket – Train to the Caminito del Rey
If you are staying in Malaga, this is a great way to visit the Caminito del Rey. You can purchase a ticket combining train, bus and the entrance to the path on any of the ticket vending machines at train stations in Malaga. All the information regarding the steps to follow when buying the tickets can be read on the poster located next to the machines.
Important! You can only buy tickets on the same day you are going. the ticket machine is open from 6am to 09:15 every day except Monday (when the Caminito del Rey is closed)
There are 100 tickets available each day with 30 allocated for guided tours and 70 for self guided tours. Prices are 23 euros sin guía (without a guide) and 31 euros con guía (with a guide)
Its in Spanish but fairly straight forward to follow.
Wildside Holidays – Spain
Take a trip on the Wildside! Discover the wildlife and nature of Spain, its Natural and National Parks and find the top wildlife, activity and walking holiday companies.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
I’ve just asked someone working at Málaga train station and they told me this promotion no longer exists
Thanks for the feedback Jim. 🙂
Hello! We are going to Malaga next weekend, and of course I cannot find any available tickets for Caminito del Rey, not even guided ones from the getyoursguide webside. So this solution seems to be my last hope. 🙂 Can you suggest specific train stations of that you received positive feedback to sell these combined tickets? For me the Airport one would be the most convenient, but I would try others as well if it is more sure…
Hi, re the train station I am getting really confusing feedback and RENFE are not helping at all. The last ticket someone told me about was from Fuengirola earlier this summer. Other people say its not available. I can only suggest that you go to the nearest station to you.
The other option is just to turn up at the gate but you need to be there really early, like 7:30.. There are only 50 tickets available at the gate and they are normally gone by 9am
Let me know how you get on. best of luck
Hello, I tried purchasing the tickets, but the menu looks different and I couldn’t find the offer. I went to ask a renfe employee but they told me that such tickets aren’t sold anymore. It would be worth it to re-check after the pandemic.
Thanks for that feedback Lukas! I spoke to RENFE on the phone down at Malaga train station and they insisted that the machine for the combi ticket has been working since the reopening in July….. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if that wasn’t the complete truth though because a few other people have commented as you Lukas…..
