What to do and see in Benalmadena, Andalucia: The Best Things to do for Honeymoon
While most visitors choose Benalmadena for its glorious beaches, there are plenty of other attractions to keep your family amused. Take a trip out to sea on a boat or a ferry; you can even go whale and dolphin watching. A cable car ride would make a welcome change, or perhaps a visit to Bil Bil Castle. The castle is distinctive with its Arabian architecture, and it hosts concerts as well as art exhibitions. Visit the Sea Life Centre, where you can walk through the transparent tunnels in the underwater park or watch feeding demonstrations; the centre even has a mini golf course. At the end of a relaxing day, Benalmadena becomes a great place for nightlife. Whatever kind of cuisine you are looking for, you are sure to find a restaurant that will suit your family's tastes.

Flamenco Benalmadena is the perfect place for experiencing the real authentic Flamenco in Marbella. Our artists are professionally trained in the city of Seville, where Flamenco was born; thus, we are able to give you a real traditional music experience in the heart of Costa Del Sol. Our shows are performed in the traditional way, which is personal and passionate, as it used to be throughout history. So you can be sure to have an unforgettable experience.

If you like peace and tranquility this is the place for you.The little white houses with bright flowerpots ,quiet narrow streets is wonderful.The view from the top of the Publo are spectacular,looking down over the coast.

We were staying in Benalmadena Pueblo and this was just a short 15-20 minute walk down hill (but a steep walk back up) from where we were staying.The entrance fee was just €2.00 which was great value and in our opinion was well worth a visit.

9. Puerto Marina Benalmadena
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 8,466 reviews
Located on the Costa del Sol, has proven itself as being one of the top marinas in the world. With many restaurants, shopping, attractions and nightlife. It has won the award "Best Marina in the World' several times. The Marina of Benalmadena officially opened in 1979, with the name "Port au Prince" but in1982 was named Puerto Marina Benalmadena. The thing that really stands out about the marina is its unique architecture/design, which has lead to its international recognition especially with our European tourists. Puerto Marina has a huge capacity to moor boats and yachts, with just over 1,000 moorings for boats from many different nationalities. 'Puerto Marina' is one of the Costa del Sol's busiest centres. There are loads of different shops including the shopping centre. On top of it all there is a large choice of quality restaurants. You are spoiled for choice. Fancy a drink or a dance? Or how about hitting a nightclub or pub?
