If you get off the train at the last stop...after renfe and come out on the Alameda Principal... side walk up through the park then continue down Paseo de Reding (which is almost straight on..leftish) you will reach the cemetary...I have been told that entrance costs 2€ now days to help with the upkeep... its about a 15min walk..

This is a Yellow Pages Map centered on the English Cemetery and St George's Anglican Church at Avenida de Pries.

Fron the Alameda Principal you can get Nº11 to English Cemetery and/or to Pedregalejos beach promenade for good fish lunch..or 61 to visit the Jardin Botanico La Concepcion...or 35 to get you up to the Gibralfaro..or you can just stroll round the old town...if you are up to walking when returning from the cemetery..then head left under the tunnel (instead of returning via the park..and you will come out to the Plaza Mercedes...where you could have a drink (you will need it) and then walk down towards the center and past the Picasso museum, Cathedral and back to train Station.

I think you will need the bus or a cab, a 15 minute walk in july is out of the question if you want to look reasonable when you arrive at your destination.

If you go for the bus..you could get a bonobus..10 trips which would save you some money...there is a little kiosk where they sell them in the middle bit of the Alameda Principal or in a tabaco shop..if in doubt ask at the tourist kiosk on the bridge opposite Corte Ingles.

Was in málaga today, El Corte Inglés to hospital civil just 2.90 euros so maybe we will take taxis, seem more reasonable than on the coast. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. :)

If you go on the hop on-hop off tourist bus (stops on bridge near Correos building as well as Bus Stn near RENFE main stn) it takes you to the English Cemetary. Its an ideal way to see the tourist sights in Malaga city. I have used it a few times when doing the tourist guide bit! :)
