This Sunday 7th June 2026, Benalmádena will celebrate Corpus Christi, a gorgeous festivity full of colour and amazing aromas thanks to a spectacular carpet of flowers laid on the streets by the villagers.
This beautiful festivity is celebrated in many Andalusian villages sixty days after Easter Sunday; however, Benalmadena Pueblo’s rendition is now regarded as one of the most beautiful in the province, attracting many visitors.
Benalmádena is getting ready to host its popular ‘Feria del Marisco’ (Seafood Fair) from the 28th May to the 32st May. This year the event is changing location and moving from the Marina to Plaza Adolfo Suarez. All who visit Benalmadena this weekend will be able to sample some of the most delicious seafood at bargain prices!
Concert season is in full swing on the Costa del Sol. Many of our guests like to know what’s going on up and down the Coast as they often like to get out and experience some of the great nightlife we have on offer in this wonderful part of the world and a good concert is the perfect excuse for a great night out.
Yes, we do have a great entertainment programme on-site at Sunset Beach Club, with live music, tribute bands and musicals; however, sometimes even we can’t compete with the likes of Maroon 5, Lenny Kravitz or Sting!
There are plenty of live concerts programmed along the coast over the summer: Below, we have highlighted some of the top concerts and shows with information on specific dates, venues and ticket prices.
(Note: Ticket prices are correct at the time of publishing this post, but could vary as ticket availability changes. Please check the links at the bottom to see the latest prices.)
This year’s Cudeca Walkathon is changing location. For the first time in many years, the event will not be held on the promenade in front of Sunset Beach Club. The organisers wanted a change and have decided that the best location is the Arroyo de la Miel Fairground next to Paloma Park, allowing for more participants, given the large available space.
This year’s event takes place of Saturday 23rd May, 2026 and will hopefully break all attendance records!
Every year, we here at Sunset Beach Club provide our unconditional support to this fantastic event aiming to raise awareness for the incredible work the Cudeca Foundation does for Cancer patients here on the Costa del Sol. The funds raised during the Walkathon also allow for the continued palliative care the Cudeca Hospice offers to more than 1400 cancer patients and their families, free of charge.
Fuengirola’s main fairground is ready to host the ever-popular ‘Feria Internacional de los Paises’ (International People’s Fair), a multicultural event where visitors can experience the rich cultural diversity the city has to offer.
Just a quick heads up… a few years ago the fair changed its name from ‘Feria Internacional de los Pueblos’ to ‘Feria Internacional de los Paises’ (International Countries Fair). That being said, the logo and unifying spirit of the fair remain the same.
This year the Fair will last 5 days from Wednesday 29th April to Sunday 3rd May 2026.
Although we enjoy approximately 320 days of sunshine a year here in Benalmadena, there are those odd days when the heavens open and you have to make use of the dreaded umbrella!
On these rare rainy days, we often get guests asking for tips and ideas on what to do on a wet day. Thankfully, Benalmadena is not all about sun, sea and beaches; there are plenty of interesting places to visit and things to do…Here’s a list of 12 ideas to keep you busy in Benalmadena (and the surrounding area) when it rains.
#1: Visit the Marina
Jump on the bus (nº110 or 120) or grab a taxi (Both stop just outside the hotel) and head down to the Marina. You’ll find lots of great restaurants to enjoy a lovely lunch, and can also visit the popular Sea Life Aquarium with its fascinating range of sea creatures, including sharks, stingrays and tropical fish. A must if you have kids! (more…)
Next Sunday the 19th of April 2026, Benalmadena will host the 41st edition of its popular ‘Fiesta de la Bicicleta’ or Bicycle Party, one of the city’s oldest and most emblematic events in its busy sports calendar. This year, the event returns stronger than ever with a fun-packed morning of cycling for all who choose to participate.
It’s not a race. The whole event is designed to be a fun family day out, fitting in perfectly with Benalmadena’s image as an idyllic destination for tourism and sports.
This unique tradition started almost 41 years ago to encourage the use of bicycles as a healthy habit and an alternative form of transport. Many years later, there’s still a lot of work to do in this aspect, and the town hall remains committed to promoting the use of more eco-friendly and non-contaminating transport to help stop climate change.
The Calamorro Skyrace will be the next event of the Merrell Skyrunner World Series and will take place on Saturday 11th April, 2026.
Securing the celebration of this prestigious event in 2024 was a significant coup, which has undoubtedly helped position Benalmadena on the national and international sports map thanks to the coverage on Spain’s Teledeporte sports channel and other global media.
With just a couple of weeks to go until the start of its famous ‘Semana Santa’ (Holy Week) – From 29th March to 5th April 2026 – the city of Malaga is gearing itself up to welcome thousands of visitors who every year line its streets to watch the breathtaking processions.
It’s a unique spectacle that all visitors to the Costa del Sol should experience at least once. The sight of the gigantic thrones (known as Tronos) being carried by over 200 men and the colourful costumes worn by members of the brotherhoods, the smell of fresh flowers and burning incense, the sound of music and crowds cheering and singing… truly memorable!
