Visiting Benalmadena during the busy summer months – July & August – can be stressful. Too many people, too much traffic, too many queues, it’s too hot… stress!
However, if you’re willing to hold off on your holiday plans until September, the panorama changes… drastically!
September is probably one of the best times of year to visit Benalmadena. Although it’s still busy, kids are back at school and Spanish travellers (who usually holiday in August) are back at work. You’ll also find that flights and accommodation are considerably cheaper and the weather is still fantastic; lots of sunshine but not as stiflingly hot as July and August.
Some of the most popular attractions for tourists visiting the Costa del Sol during the hot summer months are the Water Parks. There are two located within easy driving distance from Sunset Beach Club; however, today we will feature the Coast’s biggest water park: Aqualand!
Located in Torremolinos, Aqualand provides a truly amazing day out for all the family. Our Community Manager recently re-visited the park with his family and some friends and the following is his review of a day at Aqualand. Over to you Justin…
If you’re a fan of food trucks and street food then you’re going to love the Festival taking place in Pueblosol (Arroyo de la Miel) from the 2nd to the 4th August.
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 Andalucía, Los Nadales Fairground, Malapesquera Beach and the area in front of Bil-Bil Castle (just a few minutes walk from Sunset Beach Club).
Fancy trying a fun new water park where you’ll be able to jump, slide, dive and test your balance skills?
If you’ve walked along the promenade in Benalmadena, Puerto Banus or Fuengirola, you may well have seen some bizarre-looking inflatable structures floating about 50m offshore. Well, these are actually state-of-the-art water parks where you and the family will have a whale of a time!
This Sunday 2nd June 2024, 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.
