Transportation options in November
Most of the municipalities celebrating events are not exactly near the Costa del Sol, where you will probably be staying; public transport has its limitations and it is sometimes preferable to have a private vehicle, especially if you plan to go and return on the same day.
If you live in Malaga and don’t have a vehicle, you can try to convince a friend who has one.
Own vehicle
If you are still planning to visit Malaga in November, prices are usually the cheapest all year round. It’s low season, so you may find some interesting offers.
Car hire in Malaga can be what you need; having your own vehicle will give you the freedom you need to enjoy the month of November in the province. You will be able to attend the activities that take place in any of the villages and return the same day.
If you find it too cheap, you can take advantage of and rent a car of a higher range than the one you would normally rent; the objective is to enjoy your holidays.
If you have your own car in Malaga, then you are ready for November.
Private Transfer
Another option is to hire a car with driver for taking you to any of the towns with activities this month. The driver will pick you up and return to your desired place and time. I personally recommend malagatransfer.co.uk; I have used them in the past and had a good experience, it is a Spanish company with experience in the province of Malaga.
If you choose a private transfer,notice that some of the destinations may not appear on the website, which does not mean that they do not offer it. For example, Ojen in Marbella does appear, while Parauta does not. If this happens, just contact them by telephone or from the contact form for a closed price.
If you live in Malaga and don’t have a vehicle, you can try to convince a friend who has one. I don’t think it will cost you too much to convince them if you tell about the food and fun you will find.
