Same train, different direction: this is the C1 heading south, away from Málaga.
EUR 2.05 is one zone dearer than the ride into Málaga or to Torremolinos.
The station is Benalmádena-Arroyo de la Miel, a little inland; it is not a seafront stop.
Trains run every 20 minutes from 05:32 to 21:42, then every 30 to the last at 23:42.

EUR 6.48 is a floor, not a fixed fare: Avanza states it as a "from" price and does not publish what the ceiling is.
Eleven differently numbered lines call at the airport on the way to Marbella; there is no single line name or colour to look for on the stop, only the destination.
The last two departures, 23:15 and 23:59, are advance-purchase only — turning up at the counter will not get you on either.
Coaches are not evenly spaced: some gaps are ten minutes, others run over an hour. Check the specific time before you plan around it.
