Rules for travelling to most European countries have changed.
From 2025 (Probably the second half of the year), travellers from more than 60 visa-exempt countries (see image below to see if your country is included) will need to have a special travel authorisation, a valid ETIAS, (European Travel Information & Authorisation System) to enter 30 European countries for a short stay.
(more…)Carnival Season is well underway and most towns and cities on the Costa del Sol (Including Benalmadena) are submersed in fun programs to celebrate this colourful festivity.
Although the Carnival is celebrated all over Andalucia—the Cadiz Carnival is probably the most famous—for this article, we’ll focus on the Málaga Carnival. Only 25 minutes from our hotel and easily accessible, it’s a ‘must visit’ if you’re planning a trip to the Costa del Sol in February.
We’re lucky enough to enjoy mild winters. This luxury allows the city of Málaga to live one of its most colourful, multicultural and spontaneous festivities of the year: The Carnival.

Benalmadena offers much more than a summer holiday fueled by sun, sea and sangria.
To be honest, we’re a little baffled as to why our amazing city doesn’t get busier in the Winter; But that may just be what makes it so appealing to visit in the quieter months (November, December, January and February)!

Don’t forget we’re privileged to get more than 320 days of sunshine per year here on the Costa del Sol!
Whilst there are many things to do in Benalmadena in Winter, we’ve summarised some of our favourites for you.
Here goes…
