What to do and see in Benalmadena, Andalucia: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

September 29, 2021 Marlin Saiz

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.

We used the private cooking services 5 times during our two week stay in Spain. Not only was the food FANTASTIC, the chef was on time, friendly and left everything spotless. There have a great variety of menus from themed events (paella and tapas) to al a carte when you can decide exactly what you want. Wu used them for both lunch and dinners on various days and i was not only impressed with the quality of the cooking but also the presentation...as good as a high end restaurant (and we are foodies). All in all a great experience and i would highly reccommend.

I have been visiting this bar for the last several years now, whilst holidaying in Benalmadena, always get a warm welcome from owner Leon, who is always friendly to all customers new and old. His regular expat customers are also friendly to holiday makers. Drinks good quality at reasonable prices. Bar and toilets always very clean. Well worth a visit. See you again Leon

Prison Island

Prison Island is an adventure for all ages. It's a lot like the successful TV-show "Fort Boyard" or "Crystal Maze" where you use team-work to solve tricky challenges in cells and collect points. All while the clock is ticking.... Gather your friends, form a team and solve the challenging tasks in the prison cells together.
