Next week, from October 24 to November 2, Benalmadena Marina welcomes the Galeón Andalucía, a replica of the ships that were used for trade and maritime expeditions between Europe, America and Asia in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.
Everyone is welcome to visit and discover how sailors lived aboard as they explored the seas of the world on this impressive galleon. You’ll be able to walk through its multiple decks, enjoy interactive exhibitions, and chat with the young crew who will share stories about the ship and their experiences on board.
Halloween is almost here and we’ve got a fun-packed activities programme for all the families visiting us over this half-term holiday period.
From Monday 13th October to Sunday 2nd November, our animation team will be offering a full daily entertainment programme with activities for children, teens and adults.
On the 12th October 2025, European countries using the new Entry/Exit System (EES) will start introducing it. This automated IT system which registers non-EU nationals travelling for short stays (up to 90 days within any 180-day period) will gradually be introduced at border crossings.
Full implementation is expected to be completed by the 10th April 2026 with the introduction of ETIAS six months later (November 2026).

The Fuengirola Fair starts on Monday the 6th October. This is one of the most popular festivities in Andalusia and the highlight of the city’s entertainment calendar.
From the 6th to the 12th October, all who visit Fuengirola are in for a fun time! The ‘Feria del Rosario’ (named after the city’s patron saint) is the perfect opportunity to experience an authentic taste of Spanish culture.
During the day, you can visit many of the different ‘casetas’ where your flamenco dancing skills will be put to the test! Alternatively, you can just sample some of the delicious food and drinks on offer; we recommend you try the typical Andalucian feria drink called a ‘rebujito’ a refreshing mix of manzanilla (or fino) wine, lemonade and lots of ice.
This week, our neighbours in Torremolinos celebrate their local festivities in honour of their patron saint. The ‘Feria de San Miguel’ is their biggest event of the year and offers 4 days (from 25th to 29th September) of fun and entertainment to all who visit the town.
There’s a lot going on over the course of these 4 days, and below we’ve put together 4 reasons why we think you should visit the Torremolinos fair this weekend. It’s a great opportunity to experience true Spanish culture and have a blast! 🙂
For the 17th year running, our friends at Goldsoul – well-established UK Soul event promoters – are coming back for a fun week of the best tunes, lots of dancing and, of course, sunshine!!!
This year’s ‘Costa del Soul’ event promises to be the best yet. It runs from Friday 3rd October to Saturday 11th October and featuring some of the top DJ’s from the UK playing the most fantastic Soul Music Tunes throughout the day.
Soul music lovers can enjoy their daily dose of Classic Soul tunes by the hotel’s poolside Kanaloa terrace whilst enjoying a cool jug of Sangria and working on their tans!
After a hard day by the pool, the fun continues in the Panorama Bar with some laid-back soul from 6 to 9 pm. This includes the ever-popular happy hour and the chance to catch up and watch the latest live Premier League or Champions League football matches.
Visiting Benalmadena during the busy summer months – July & August – can be stressful. Too many people, too much traffic, too many queues, it’s too hot… stress!
However, if you’re willing to hold off on your holiday plans until September, the panorama changes… drastically!
September is probably one of the best times of year to visit Benalmadena. Although it’s still busy, kids are back at school and Spanish travellers (who usually holiday in August) are back at work. You’ll also find that flights and accommodation are considerably cheaper and the weather is still fantastic; lots of sunshine but not as stiflingly hot as July and August.
Rachael Blackmore, one of National Hunt racing’s most iconic figures – and one of Ireland’s most admired athletes – will be the new face of FBD Hotels & Resorts.

From Thursday 28th August to Sunday 31st August 2025, Benalmádena Pueblo (the old town) will host the latest edition of its Arabian Market (Zoco), an event which, once again, returns to the town’s summer cultural programme.
The Arabian Market will be spread out throughout various locations, running from Calle Real to Plaza del Aguacil and Plaza de las Tres Culturas. Aimed to promote the town’s beauty and charm, the town hall hopes this unique event will once again attract tourists from all over the Coast.
