A train trip from Madrid to Malaga takes about four and a half hours. Direct train lines from Barcelona and Madrid to Almeria are available, but the travel time is longer because the trains used are not high velocity trains. Visitors can explore the rest of the Andalusian region by taking the Al Andaluz Express.

Visitors can tour the city by bus. Bus stops are widely available throughout the city centre. Those going to Almeria from Madrid can take the overnight coaches that make regular trips to the city.
Travel by Taxis
Traveling by taxi is a great way to get a true taste of the city because taxis are cheaper in Spain than in other European cities. The taxi drivers can be accommodating enough to show the visitors the city's more earthy side. However, they are notorious for not turning their meters on, so while taxi fare is cheap, the taxi drivers tend to overcharge.
