The ‘Virgen del Carmen‘ celebrations take place in Benalmadena Marina from next Thursday 16th July, 2026.
The Benalmadena town hall has prepared various events which will take place on Thursday 16th, Friday 17th and Saturday 18th July, including a wonderful procession through the streets of Benalmádena Costa in which the fishermen will carry their ‘Stella Maris’ to the Marina. She’ll be lifted aboard a boat and paraded along the Benalmadena coastline (weather permitting).
If you’ve got some good binoculars, a great place to watch this is from the terrace in our Panorama Bar here at Sunset Beach Club or from the promenade just in front of the hotel. (more…)
During the months of July and August, Benalmadena town hall has once again organized a special programme called “Cultura en la Calle” (Culture in the streets), an impressive selection of free cultural shows in different locations around the municipality (Benalmadena Pueblo, Arroyo de la Miel and Benalmadena Costa).
You’ll be able to enjoy entertainment in the following locations: Plaza Adolfo Suárez (Pueblosol), Paloma Park, Plaza de la Tribuna, Los Nadales Fairground, Malapesquera Beach and the area in front of Bil-Bil Castle (just a few minutes walk from Sunset Beach Club).
If you’re staying at Sunset Beach Club this weekend (or planning a visit soon), there’s a truly special event taking place nearby:“Mijas with Soul” (Mijas con Alma) — one of the most charming summer experiences on the Costa del Sol.
The San Juan Fair in Arroyo de la Miel is back again this year with a full programme of events which kicks off on Tuesday, 23rd June!
This year, we’ll be able to enjoy the amazing fireworks display on San Juan night (23rd June) as well as the traditional bonfires along the beaches. The popular ‘Casetas’ are back in the main fairground every night, as are all the fairground attractions and live music concerts. The day fair will also provide hours of entertainment with live music and dancing featuring local artists.
Next Tuesday the 23rd June, the beaches of Benalmádena – and many other Spanish towns and cities – will come alive to celebrate the Night of San Juan.
This not-to-be-missed date on the local festivities calendar coincides (nearly…) with the summer solstice; the perfect way to celebrate the arrival of summer!
This Sunday 7th June 2026, Benalmádena will celebrate Corpus Christi, a gorgeous festivity full of colour and amazing aromas thanks to a spectacular carpet of flowers laid on the streets by the villagers.
This beautiful festivity is celebrated in many Andalusian villages sixty days after Easter Sunday; however, Benalmadena Pueblo’s rendition is now regarded as one of the most beautiful in the province, attracting many visitors.
Benalmádena is getting ready to host its popular ‘Feria del Marisco’ (Seafood Fair) from the 28th May to the 32st May. This year the event is changing location and moving from the Marina to Plaza Adolfo Suarez. All who visit Benalmadena this weekend will be able to sample some of the most delicious seafood at bargain prices!
Concert season is in full swing on the Costa del Sol. Many of our guests like to know what’s going on up and down the Coast as they often like to get out and experience some of the great nightlife we have on offer in this wonderful part of the world and a good concert is the perfect excuse for a great night out.
Yes, we do have a great entertainment programme on-site at Sunset Beach Club, with live music, tribute bands and musicals; however, sometimes even we can’t compete with the likes of Maroon 5, Lenny Kravitz or Sting!
There are plenty of live concerts programmed along the coast over the summer: Below, we have highlighted some of the top concerts and shows with information on specific dates, venues and ticket prices.
(Note: Ticket prices are correct at the time of publishing this post, but could vary as ticket availability changes. Please check the links at the bottom to see the latest prices.)
This year’s Cudeca Walkathon is changing location. For the first time in many years, the event will not be held on the promenade in front of Sunset Beach Club. The organisers wanted a change and have decided that the best location is the Arroyo de la Miel Fairground next to Paloma Park, allowing for more participants, given the large available space.
This year’s event takes place of Saturday 23rd May, 2026 and will hopefully break all attendance records!
Every year, we here at Sunset Beach Club provide our unconditional support to this fantastic event aiming to raise awareness for the incredible work the Cudeca Foundation does for Cancer patients here on the Costa del Sol. The funds raised during the Walkathon also allow for the continued palliative care the Cudeca Hospice offers to more than 1400 cancer patients and their families, free of charge.
Fuengirola’s main fairground is ready to host the ever-popular ‘Feria Internacional de los Paises’ (International People’s Fair), a multicultural event where visitors can experience the rich cultural diversity the city has to offer.
Just a quick heads up… a few years ago the fair changed its name from ‘Feria Internacional de los Pueblos’ to ‘Feria Internacional de los Paises’ (International Countries Fair). That being said, the logo and unifying spirit of the fair remain the same.
This year the Fair will last 5 days from Wednesday 29th April to Sunday 3rd May 2026.
