Welcome to the definitive guide for holidaymakers and tourists visiting Benalmadena and Arroyo de la Miel on Spain's Costa del Sol. If you follow the above links, you will find everything you need to enjoy a fantastic visit here including local transport information, hotel and apartment accommodation, places to go and things to do. We have a page specifically for children's entertainment venues and another detailing the best places to eat, drink and be entertained. There are interactive maps of the resort itself, together with others for cities, towns and villages that you may want to visit on an organized excursion, hire car or public transport.
There is so much to do in the resort itself that that you are really spoilt for choice, and with over three hundred sunny days each year, rain is unlikely to spoil your holiday here. Some of the main attractions are the Paseo Maritimo or promenade that stretches the length of the resort, and with a small break at Benalmadena's wonderful puerto marina, continues on to the neighbouring resort of Torremolinos.
Tourist information for visitors to Benalmadena and Arroyo de la Miel
Paloma Park with it's large lake, water plume and beautiful trees and gardens is a favourite with children and adults alike. Rabbits, peacocks and other wildlife roam freely. Contained inside the park is a cactus garden with species from all over the world.
The world class Arabian style PuertoMarina which has over one thousand moorings, is Benalmadena's centerpiece and should not be missed. It houses many restaurants, bars, discotheques and shops, and should be visited both in the daytime and after dark.
The Cable Car or teleferico ride from Arroyo de la Miel to the summit of Monte Calamorro is another popular attraction. The ten minute journey gives you the opportunity to view the whole of Benalmadena from above, as well as being able to see the north African coast on a cloudless day.
And last but not least lets not forget Benalmadena Pueblo which is where the municipalities town hall is situated. This is a lovely "white" Spanish village with flowers on the balconies of the houses. A frequent bus service operates from Benalmadena Costa and Arroyo de la Miel, and takes about half an hour.
