Last minute holidays to Benalmadena

Snack on sardines by the beach

The beaches aren’t just for sunloungers and watersports centres — they’re also home to traditional chiringuito bars that barbecue up the catch of the day right on the sand. You can wash it all down with a glass of homemade sangria.

Mooch around Benalmadena Marina

Superyachts and smart restaurants share space with an aquarium at Benalmadena Marina. It’s a handsome place, too, thanks to the typically Andalusian mix of Moorish and Spanish architecture.

Climb Calamorro Mountain

Fancy getting a bird’s eye view of Benalmadena? Jump on one of the cable cars that sweep up to the top of Calamorro Mountain. On a clear day — which are a dime a dozen in the Costa del Sol — you can glimpse Morocco. Nights are typically crystal-clear, so it’s also a prime stargazing spot.
