Questions about Malaga to Nerja at night
Hi everyone, I will arrive Malaga at around 10pm and planning to go by bus to Nerja directly, anyone has experienced ALSA? I am not sure if it is too early to look for the time schedule after 2 months, I only can see 4 bus per day to Nerja however I need a bus after 23:00.
Since this is midnight, is Nerja a difficult place to look for accomodation? any recommendation ?

For accommodation you will have to prebook somewhere with 24 hour desk. Booking.com will help you there.
ALSA is the national bus company. Well almost national , you should have no trouble with them.
Some CC do not work via the website so prebooking maybe difficult.
If you are worried about walking a long distance between bus station and hotel take a taxi, or stay in Malaga for one night.

26 buses from Málaga to Nerja every day, the last one leaves Málaga at 23:00 h. ALSA runs like a clock. http://www.alsa.es/en/
Taxi from Málaga airport to Nerja in 40 minutes for some 65-70€. Pree-book at http://nerjataxis.net/ or http://malagacabbie.com/
Loads of hotels in Nerja, no problem arriving after midnight.
- Hotel Plaza Cavana is as central as it gets:

- So is seaside Hotel Balcón de Europa: http://www.booking.com/hotel/es/balcon-de-europa.html
http://www.hotelbalconeuropa.com/
- I've stayed several times in close by, basic hotel standard and great value Hostal Mena: https://www.hostalmena.es/hostal/
- The four star Parador is very tranquile and just five min walking from landmark Balcón de Europa (and the other hotels mentioned): http://www.booking.com/hotel/es/parador-de-nerja.html

Be aware that almost all restaurants and bars in Nerja serves free tapas to choose with every drink of beer, wine etc in the bar area, normally 1,50-2€. Some fabulous places in town with excellent tapas. La Marina, El Pulguilla and La Puntilla are my favourites, but dozens of other local atmosphere fine places.

<i>I mean look for the direction at night, for sure I will book in advance, but Nerja seems very quiet and I am worry they are lack of road sign for tourists that's why I am asking.</i>
Nerja is chock-full of expats and tourists. The road signs will not be a problem since Spanish and English use essentially the same alphabet.
<i>Taxi from Málaga airport to Nerja in 40 minutes for some 65-70€. Pree-book at http://nerjataxis.net/ or http://malagacabbie.com/</i>
That's an optimistic time. Figure closer to an hour.

The reason you've only seen a few services offered by Alsa is that they delay confirming the timetable until 2 or 3 weeks prior to the date. So don't panic, you'll have plenty of choice - and it's easy to book online. I've always found them very reliable.
Assuming that you're flying into Malaga, hope you realise that you need a bus from the airport to the bus station (approx 25 mins) before you can get a bus to Nerja. It's all quite straightforward but time consuming.

Thanks all !
I will arrive Malaga at 21:35 by ryanair, even I will have only handcarry luggage, I guess it is impossible to take the bus or train at 22:00, so the next bus or train will be leaving at 22:30, the next 30 minute I must make it to the bus stop and purchase our tickets, not sure if I can do it with my parents.
So before I have another solution, I guess I will either take a taxi to the bus stop or hire a taxi to Nerja directly.
Did anyone heard of Malagashuttlebus.com ? The website is very promising, door to door service, however no details information given from their site.
