Are you looking for a list of fun things to do the next time you visit Benalmadena?
Well, you’ve come to the right place. There are loads of things to do and fun attractions to visit when you come to spend your holidays in Benalmadena. We’ve put together an A to Z list with 26 ideas to get you started…
A – Aqualand
Have a splashing time at the Costa del Sol’s biggest water park. The kids will love it…and so will the adults. There are plenty of fun rides to keep the whole family entertained for hours!
Some of the water slides at Aqualand in Torremolinos
B –Butterfly Park
Visit Europe’s largest Butterfly exhibition where you’ll be able to see more than 150 species of butterflies. You can read more about the Benalmadena Butterfly Park on our blog.
C – Cable Car Ride to the Top of Benalmadena
If you don’t mind heights, this is a definite must! A 15-minute ride to the top of the Calamorro Mountain behind Benalmadena for some of the most amazing views. Make sure you also watch the amazing birds of prey show!
From tomorrow, 25th May, until 4th June, fast-food lovers, specifically those who enjoy a good burger, can enjoy ‘The Champions Burger’, a gastronomic festival held at the Cruise Terminal in Malaga Port.
Malaga is the last stop (before the grand finale) of a festival that has already toured five Spanish cities. In each city, the audience votes for their favourite burgers – from those they choose to try, valuing the bread, meat, combinations of ingredients, presentation and originality of each.
If you’re planning on visiting the Costa del Sol over the next few weeks and you have kids (or are interested in dinosaurs) you might want to pay a visit to the Dinosaurs Tour exhibition taking place in Málaga from the 20th May 2023 to the 4th June 2023.
Located in a large marquee in Malaga’s fairground (next to the Conference and Exhibition Centre) the Dinosaurs Tour exhibition will feature 22 life-size animatronic dinosaurs simulating the real-life movements and behaviours of these fascinating prehistoric creatures. You’ll come across all your favourite species of dinosaur including, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Protoceratops, Diplodocus and Triceratops! (more…)
Benalmádena Marina is getting ready to host another edition of a popular gastronomic event… the Food Truck Experience. It’s the fifth time this unique culinary experience – which is having great success in other towns and cities – is celebrated here.
The skies of Malaga will be full of colour the weekend of the 29th & 30th April for the city’s first International Kite Festival.
This stunning visual spectacle will take place on the beaches of El Palo and Pedregalejo, on the eastern side of the city and promises to be a fun weekend for locals and visitors alike.
The event is completely free for spectators to enjoy – although you may wish to splash out on a few sardines and cold beers in one of the fabulous local ‘chiringuitos’ 😊. You’ll be treated to stunning displays from classic kite flyers as well as acrobatics, aerial tricks and impressive choreographies from renowned international kite flying artists.
We’ve had a busy winter refurbishing and re-designing our hotel entrance, reception and Oasis Restaurant but we’re delighted to announce that these key areas of the hotel are now ready.
What better way to show off the stunning results than with some photos? Below we’ve detailed the work that has been done in each area and the impressive results you’ll be able to enjoy the next time you visit Sunset Beach Club.
Making your way around all the museums, galleries and other “must-see” tourist attractions which the Costa del Sol’s capital has to offer can get rather expensive. But don’t worry. Malaga town hall offers a ‘Malaga Pass Card’ which helps tourists gain access to the city’s best attractions and monuments.
We’re going to tell you all about this nifty little card called a ‘Malaga Pass’ which will come in handy if you’re planning on visiting many of the city’s museums and attractions.
Have you ever considered the possibility of working remotely from abroad?
Over the past few years, remote working has been postulated as the salvation of many workers, entrepreneurs and digital nomads. It is, without a doubt, an excellent option for a better work-life balance and in many cases can be much more productive.
At Sunset Beach Club we have the ideal facilities for you to set up a great office with breathtaking views. Our winter rates offer particularly good value for money. It may be the perfect place to find the inspiration and creativity you are looking for.
The Costa del Sol is known for its wide choice of street markets – or flea markets, as they are sometimes referred to. As visiting these markets seems to be on most of our guest’s to-do lists, we thought we’d put together a short and concise guide featuring the most popular markets along the coast (You’ll find a link to download a printable version at the end of this post).
Many of the local street markets combine flea markets and boot sales, so for the sake of this guide, we’ll just refer to all as street markets. Although we haven’t included all the markets which take place throughout the week, we have tried to add all the ones that we’ve actually been to and that our guests have recommended.
On the 24th February 2023, our neighbouring town of Fuengirola kicks off the 13th edition of the “Ruta de la Tapa Erótica” (Erotic Tapas Route), a fun and original idea which, since the first edition, has become a reference all over Spain.
It’s been a couple of years since Fuengirola last hosted this Tapas Route and we’re looking forward to enjoying some interesting and creative tapas over the next few weeks.
Up until the 13th March, visitors to Fuengirola will be able to enjoy this traditional Spanish snack, with a slightly “spicy” touch. All establishments that take part, will prepare a sensual and fun tapa, with creativity and flair being the main ingredients. Some of the participating establishments will also be offering special ‘gluten-free’, sweet or vegetarian tapas.
Anyone who visits one of the participating restaurants or bars will be able to sample one of these “erotic” tapas and a cool beer (or glass of wine) for a – very reasonable – €3.50. If you choose one of the sweet dessert tapas available in some establishments, you can choose to accompany it with a coffee, tea or sweet wine.
