Itinerary

The Puerto Marina, the centre of Benalmadena and a vibrant harbour, is a great site to begin your hop-on, hop-off adventure. With so many bars, ice cream shops, and restaurants, there are plenty of food alternatives available. If you're in the mood for some activity, you can also try your hand at a range of water activities or just stroll along the jetty and take in the hundreds of opulent boats that are docked here.

Even if the harbour is wonderful, you should definitely visit a few beaches while you're in this charming coastal town. One of Benalmadena's best beaches is the adjacent Playa Malapasquera. It offers excellent facilities and is tidy and well-maintained. The water's clarity is a common comment made by visitors.

Are you all beached out? Nothing could be more enjoyable than spending a few hours in a bright park relaxing? Get off close to Parque De La Paloma, the main park in the community. Its stunning lakes, play parks, and picnic spots make it the ideal destination for a leisurely family vacation. It's as beautiful as a picture. And the cherry on top? animals roaming freely! Those who enjoy animals will be delighted to witness peacocks, hens, parrots, and rabbits roaming freely throughout the park.

One of the largest butterfly homes in Europe, the Mariposario, is another of Benalmadena's large nature-themed attractions. Take a journey inland towards this verdant, lush paradise where you will witness over 1500 stunning butterflies fluttering freely amidst exotic flowers and tumbling waterfalls. The butterflies are the real stars of the show.

When you get in a boat and head out onto the water to observe Benalmadena from a different perspective, you'll feel as liberated as a bird. Your convenient combination ticket includes a leisurely ferry ride to the neighbouring town of Fuengirola so you can see a little bit more of the Costa.
