7 days in Benalmadena Itinerary

Stretching from the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas mountain range to the Mediterranean ocean, Benalmádena offers all the highlights of southern Spain: traditional whitewashed villages, beautiful Costa del Sol beaches, and strong Andalusian influence.

Museum-lovers will appreciate Alcazaba and Museo Lara. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Catedral de la Encarnación de Málaga and Castillo de Gibralfaro. Get out of town with these interesting Benalmadena side-trips: El Torcal Natural Park (in Antequera), Marbella (Marbella Old Quarter & Puerto Banus Marina) and Ronda (Dona Felisa Winery, Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Merced, & more). And it doesn't end there: stroll through Burriana Beach, explore the world behind art at Museo Picasso Malaga, identify plant and animal life at Butterfly Park of Benalmadena, and head outdoors with Nerja Diving.
