Fuengirola to Marbella rail extension a ‘top priority’

Two studies have concluded that the construction of the railway which would run along the coast would save €295 million per year, placing it above 813 other infrastructure projects in terms of importance.

They include Madrid and Barcelona rail improvements and work on Madrid’s ring road.
