Benalmadena in Winter: So Much More Than a Beach Holiday

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

To be honest, we’re a little baffled as to why our amazing city doesn’t get busier in the Winter; But that may just be what makes it so appealing to visit in the quieter months (November, December, January and February)!

The important thing to keep in mind is that, although temperatures are considerably lower than during the summer months – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing – the sun shines practically every day. Don’t forget we’re privileged to get more than 320 days of sunshine per year here on the Costa del Sol!

Whilst there are many things to do in Benalmadena in Winter, we’ve summarised some of our favourites for you.
