We have 4 nights in October to spend at the beach after Andalusia tour. We are flying out of Malaga. Please recommend a quiet area to stay and relax outside of Malaga. Thank you

i have been to Fuengirola and Torremolinos. I definitely preferred Fuengirola. Nice boardwalk, nice beach and lots of restaurants.
It has more of a “village” feel.
Torremolinos is full of all inclusive hotels and touristy stores. Very busy and loud.
Quiet might be hard to find near Malaga and the beach.

I loved spending 2 weeks last February in Torremolinos, but I agree that Fuengirola would be more relaxing. It's reachable from the Málaga airport by the city's Renfe Local Train network. The ride to and from Fuengirola on this line would take about 35 minutes, and it's a very comfortable ride.

Nerja is also popular, about an hour by bus from Malaga.

We stayed at the Sahara Sunset at Benalmedena. It was reasonably priced and had full kitchen facilities. Grocery was a short walk away and the beach was 1 block.
