Benalmadena offers much more than a summer holiday fueled by sun, sea and sangria.

postpone the planned work and keep the hotel open over the winter, including
the all-important Christmas and New Year period.
Those of you who have been lucky enough to celebrate New Year’s Eve here in Spain will be familiar with the tradition of eating 12 ‘lucky’grapes as the clock strikes midnight. If you haven’t the faintest idea what we are talking about, be sure to read on as we explain where this bizarre tradition originated and what it actually entails.
