We are traveling from Madrid to Malaga round trip within 7 days. There are 4 seniors in our group. Should we get Eurail passes or local Spain train tickets?
Local train ticket vs Eurail
If this is is your only journey, then it's not worth to buy a pass. You can check fares on www.raileurope.com and compare with pass prices (+ reservations).
Local tickets are still very expensive-they go with advance sales on the superfast AVE.
Note that the seniors from 60 y can buy for 6€ a year-long Tarjeta Dorada=f=gives 25 or 40% OFF all RENFE-fares for a year-can be bought on the spot. But mostly you need that Tarjeta-nr to make a cheaper booking.
IF you fancy also other long-dist RENFE rides, then RENFE also offers its own online pass-good for 8 trips in 1 month-all online and without any exyra fees.
NOTE that-ONLY if you ask this when buying, the AVE tix alsominclude a local ride on cercanias trains-even at both ends, so you could erach Torremolinos-Fuengirola out of MLG with that
