Flight guide to Benalmadena

Located only six miles from Malaga Airport, the Spanish resort town of Benalmedena is a prime location for travelers eager to start their vacation. The first sign of the Mediterranean and the whitewashed houses send travelers rushing for the resort village to take in a day of sun or a quick shopping trip. But there's more than beach and bumming around in Benalmedena. Catch the cable car up from Arroyo de Miel and take in the views of the Costa de Sol. Test your refluxes at the world famous theme park Tivoli World or spend the day golfing along the coast. Don't let the nightlife escape you -- between the casinos, the nightclubs and the numerous bars and restaurants in the area, there's plenty to do.

Benalmadena Insider Information

• Markets: search for a bargain at the Arroyo de Miel flea market on a Wednesday, and visit the weekly market on a Friday. Tivoli World has a market on a Sunday.
• Benalmadena Sea Life Centre: feed stingrays from your own hand or walk under the sea tunnel where sharks are swimming overhead.  This popular attraction is aimed at educating visitors and letting them get close to sea life.  There is a special “sound” room where you match the sound of the sea creature with its picture, and information about conservation and rearing protected species. As you would expect, there is also a well-stocked shop, and a café with cool drinks and refreshments.
• Tivoli World is one of the oldest theme parks along the southern coast which has been designed for adults as well as children. The low-cost entry ticket gives you access to all the gardens, fountains, and walkways as well as the free shows. In Andalusia square you sample a taste of flamenco and other aspects of Andalusian culture, and Western Square is devoted to cowboys, country and western and all things western. The rides are hugely popular and are paid for per ride.  They cater for the more adventurous with go-karting and all kinds of water tunnels and drops. It makes for a good day away from the beach.  
• Festivals: Arroyo de Miel celebrates St John the Baptist at the end of June, and Benalmadena Pueblo the festival of the Virgin of the Cross in mid-August.
