Costa del Sol

A walk on the Costa del Sol. Costa del Sol, the main attraction of Benalmadena is a 150 km coast of sand, sea, and sun. Benalmadena sits in the center of this very popular coast.

This is a very popular holiday destination for Europeans and the British. Peak periods are July, August, when it is school holidays as well as the European Summer holidays.

This is the road on Costa de sol. On one side are the apartments, hotels, shops and eateries. On the other side is the beach promenade and the beach. The beach stretches as far as the eye can see, and beyond.

You can rent a spot with a deckchair and straw umbrella on the beach, or you can bring your own and find a nice spot in the sun yourself.

A water park.

This is Castillo de Bil-Bil, or Castle of Bil-Bil – an iconic landmark on the Costa Del Sol.

Castle of Bil-Bil is not actually a castle per se. It is an Arab style construction which has a lot of Muslim inspiration, built in 1927 by a wealthy family. In 1980, the City Council of Benalmadena acquired it for the cultural facility of the city. Now, it is basically a social and cultural center, a venue for exhibitions, concerts, conferences etc..

This is an tourist information booth. The design of the building looks vey similar to the Castillo de Bil-Bil.

The beach promenade. There are many cafes, restaurants and gift shops along the promenade.

Some interesting buildings and installation on the promenade.

Some plants and flowers add a bit of colour to the place.
