More than 20,000 people descended upon the beautiful city of Ronda this weekend to celebrate the 3rd edition of Ronda Romántica, the city’s May Fair which offers a fascinating look at its history and traditions.
During the three day festivities, locals and visitors were taken on a voyage of discovery to 19th century Spain, a time of bandits, muleteers and romantic travellers. (more…)

Going on holiday is supposed to be a relaxing experience; however, sometimes we need a little help to switch into relaxation mode.
We’ve certainly got a few suggestions as to how to go about disconnecting from the hustle and bustle of your hectic daily life, but we thought we’d ask our guests (through our Facebook page) for their recommendations on the best activities to relieve stress in Benalmadena. Here’s a great list of options 🙂 (more…)

It’s been described as the world’s scariest – and until recently – most dangerous walkway in the world and it’s reopening to the public on the 28th March 2015. We are, of course, talking about the Caminito del Rey (King’s Walkway) situated in the Gaitanes Gorge, about 1 hour north of Benalmádena.
This breathtaking walkway which, in certain areas, towers 100 metres above the river bed, has been closed to the public since 2001. The 100 year old path was in a precarious condition and local authorities decided to close it after a series of fatal accidents. Although officially closed, it’s remained a favourite attraction for thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies looking for the ultimate experience (see video below for proof!). (more…)
