Advantages

Punctuality

breathtaking views

Price-performance ratio

Disadvantages

Luggage system somewhat chaotic

My bus journey from Marbella to Málaga was a thoroughly pleasant and comfortable experience. The bus was clean and modern, with comfortable seats that created a relaxed atmosphere even on this short journey. The punctuality - both on departure and arrival - is particularly noteworthy. The route offered breathtaking views of the coast, which added to the short journey. The air conditioning in the coach was pleasant and restrained, ideal for the summer temperatures that are common in this region. One minor drawback was the luggage system, which seemed a little chaotic. However, this was quickly forgotten as the entire organisation otherwise ran smoothly.

Advantages

Pleasant atmosphere

Seats were cosy

Short distance

Disadvantages

No wifi

The Flixbus journey from Marbella to Malaga was short, comfortable and very practical. The bus arrived on time, the seats were comfortable, clean and the air conditioning made for a pleasant atmosphere in the warm coastal air. The route along the Costa del Sol was beautiful and offered great views of the sea. The driver was friendly and drove safely, so we had a relaxed journey. The route is not long, but there are no breaks and no toilet on board. There is also no wifi connection. Nevertheless, it is definitely a good choice as the price is reasonable!
