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.

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!
