I have searched extensively to find the train station in Malaga. We are taking a train from Madrtid to Malaga but I cannot find a name or location of the station in Malaga that we will be arriving. We will be renting a car from the train station that we arrive in Malaga and will be using it to travel along the coast.
Please, if anyone knows the location and if there are rental cars at this location, I will be forever appreciative.
Thank you.

The recently re-furbished Malaga train station has the name Maria Zambrano, a late philosophress. It is in the same place it was, but now surrounded by the Vialia shopping mall. There are rental cars there, but cannot tell you which or where in the station.
I have found this link, which has a map: http://www.europcar.es/alquiler-coch..._-_IKC_RY.html

Are you in a hurry?

I've seen your other post re. bus to Granada. The bus station is next door to the train station.

Malaga Airport has it's own station with trains that take you to Malaga as well as seemingly every trashy resort on that coast.

No, I am not in a hurry but it was confusing that there was a train station at the airport and a train station in the city.
I could not figure out which train station that we would arrive in from Madrid. We are in the process of buying train tickets and renting cars and my husband was asking me to find which station we would arrive at and if there were rental cars there.
Thank you Josele for the link and the map helps a lot. I do not remember posting re: bus to Granada but I have planned this trip three times. Family problems and health issues have caused me to have to cancel twice. Hoping three times is a charm.

From Madrid you arrive at Maria Zambrano in central Málaga.

Thank you all very much. I think we have it figured out now with all your help.

The train that stops at the airport is the Cercanías train Malaga to Fuengirola. This line departs from Malaga Central (Maria Zambrano).
