Attractions in Benalmadena

What are the attractions in Benalmadena? Is Benalmadena worth a visit?

Here are some places of interest in Benalmadena.

1. Costa del Sol
Costa del Sol is the main attraction of Benalmadena. People come here for the sun. It’s a 150 km long coast with the sea on one side and hotels and apartments, shops and eateries on the other. The coast also links the towns which are popular with Europeans and the British.

2. Puerto Marina in Benalmadena
Puerto Marina in Benalmadena is voted one of the most beautiful marinas in the world.

3. Sea Life
Sea life is an aquarium located near the Puerto Marina. It is reported to be one of the top Sea Life Marines in Europe.

4. Parque de la Paloma, or Park of the Doves is a park with a difference. It has an area of 200,000 sq meters and was voted one of twenty five most beautiful parks in Europe. In the park, besides the plants – trees and flowers, you will also find pigeons and doves, chickens, ducks, rabbits and goats.

5. Mariposario de Benalmádena - Butterfly Park
I haven’t been there, but apparently, there are “over 1,500 exotic butterflies from different parts of the world.” If you like butterflies, or like to see how butterflies are born, you might want to take a look. It is not a very big place though, and that is why people are advised to plan their visit to include nearby places like the Buddhist temple and/or the Castillo de Colomares – a monument in the form of a castle dedicated to the life and adventures of Christopher Coloumbus.

6. Benalmadena Cable Car.
Take the cable car to the top of Mount Calamorro and have a bird’s eye view of the town below. On a clear day, you can see as far out to Africa.

7. Benalmadena Pueblos
Visit the villages on the mountainside. Marvel at the interesting designs of the houses built on the slopes of a mountain. Ingenious, I think.

There used to be a Tivoli World theme park but they are now closed due to money and legal problems.

Arroyo de la Miel - the town center. Have a walk around the town center. There are many cafes and restaurants. You can try out the international cuisine on offer, or find yourself a restaurant in a nice square, have drink and/or a meal and soak in the atmosphere

Other than the above mentioned, Benalmadena is a town where holidaymakers relax, enjoy the sun, eat, drink and party. If that is the kind of holiday you look forward to, Benalmadena is definitely worth a visit. Just take it easy and go with the pace of the place.
