Next Sunday the 14th of April, Benalmadena will host the 39th edition of its popular ‘Fiesta de la Bicicleta’ or Bicycle Party, one of the city’s oldest and most emblematic events in its busy sports calendar. This year the event returns stronger than ever with a fun-packed morning of cycling for all who choose to participate.
It’s not a race. The whole event is designed to be a fun family day out, fitting in perfectly with Benalmadena’s image as an idyllic destination for tourism and sports.
This unique tradition started almost 40 years ago to foment the use of bicycles as a healthy habit and an alternative form of transport. Many years later there’s still a lot of work to do in this aspect and the town hall remains committed to promoting the use of more eco-friendly and non-contaminating transport to help stop climate change.

Torremolinos has a little hidden secret that very few visitors and tourists know about, The Molino de Inca Botanical Gardens.

Although the gardens are just 20 minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of the hectic town centre, you feel like you’re miles away from anywhere. (more…)

Do you need a guide to Benalmadena?
Although we get many repeat guests at Sunset Beach Club, many are first-timers and as a result, often require local information to help them get around.
Our Leisure Desk and Reception staff are more than happy to provide guests with local information and a long list of things to do; however, it is handy to have a quick reference on hand before travelling so that you can plan your activities and decide where to go and what to see. (more…)

With just a couple of weeks to go until the start of its famous ‘Semana Santa’ (Holy Week) – From 24th March to 31st March 2024 – the city of Malaga is gearing itself up to welcome thousands of visitors who every year line its streets to watch the breathtaking processions.
It’s a truly unique spectacle that all visitors to the Costa del Sol should experience at least once. The sight of the gigantic thrones (known as Tronos) being carried by over 200 men and the colourful costumes worn by members of the brotherhoods; the smell of fresh flowers and burning incense; the sound of music and crowds cheering and singing… truly memorable!

The ‘Semana Santa de Málaga’ (Malaga Holy Week) is famous for its impressive processions in which the ‘cofradías’ (brotherhoods) proudly parade their ‘Tronos’ (Thrones) through the streets of the city as the expectant crowds cheer, sing and applaud to the sound of the unmistakable music played by the marching bands.

The Costa del Sol is one of Spain’s most popular tourist destinations attracting visitors from all over the world. We all know that the busy Easter and Summer holiday periods are the most popular with hotels at full capacity and local businesses, bars and restaurants busier than ever.
But what about the quieter months of the year? This year, Easter is earlier than usual so most of April promises to be less frantic with kids back to school after the Easter Break. If you enjoy the gorgeous Spring weather but prefer a quieter and more relaxed vibe, then this is the perfect time to visit.
Couples or families with babies looking for a peaceful break in the sun will love it here in mid-April. And don’t forget that hotel rates are significantly lower than in the high summer season so that’s another great excuse to travel at this time of year.
