Seville to Málaga by road

The fastest driving route is 214 km (133 mi) long and takes about 2 hr 40 min without stops or traffic. It runs mostly on the A-92 (152 km), the AP-46 (25.9 km), and the A-45 (17.5 km).

The whole route stays in Andalusia. That’s an average of 80 km/h (50 mph). Spain’s traffic authority (DGT) recommends a break every two hours or 200 km: with 1 stop of 20 minutes, the trip takes about 3 hr. The time is OSRM’s estimate with OpenStreetMap data: no traffic and speeds somewhat below the limits, so real trips can differ.

Straight-line distance and bearing

In a straight line, the shortest distance over the Earth’s surface, Seville and Málaga are 159 km (98.7 mi) apart. That’s the geodesic on the WGS84 ellipsoid, the distance “as the crow flies”.

The road is 35% longer: for every 100 km in a straight line you drive 135. That’s a big detour: the fastest route strays quite far from the straight line. Of the 120 Spanish driving pairs in this series, it ranks 13th for detour (the average is 24%).

From Seville, Málaga lies to the southeast (bearing 117°), and from Málaga, Seville lies to the northwest.
