This summer Benalmádena will host a festival which is unique to all of Spain, the Benalmádena Theatre and Music Festival. There is no other like it in all of Spain and during the months of July and August we will be able to enjoy the best productions that Madrid’s ‘Gran Vía’ (Equivalent of London’s West End) has hosted.
The fun starts on the 6th July and goes on until 29th August. Every day (with the exception of Monday) you´ll be able to enjoy one of the 13 shows included in the Festival’s programme.
This first edition of the Festival will feature a wide variety of shows: musicals such as Annie or Peter Pan, comedies, special tributes to Queen and Michael Jackson, magic with Jorge Blass (one of Spain’s top magicians) and much more (see image with billboard). There is something for all audiences who´ll be able to enjoy these shows in a unique and open-air setting … the Benalmádena Municipal Auditorium.
We have two months of uninterrupted programming with established shows at affordable prices (between € 15 and € 35 depending on the seat) to look forward to. Tickets can be purchased at the box office or on the festival website www.auditoriobenalmadena.com.
If you want to enjoy all the shows at great prices, you can choose to buy special vouchers. You can choose when to see the shows and the voucher is transferable (although you can only see each show once). You have two types of vouchers to choose from:
Royal Voucher: Seating in the Royal Area of the auditorium. With each entry you will enjoy the Gourmet Experience (Tapa and drink) – € 300
Blue Voucher: Choose your seat in the Blue Zone of the auditorium – € 250
And if you plan to visit Benalmádena this summer to enjoy this Theatre and Music Festival, and you are looking for accommodation, Sunset Beach Club Hotel offers comfortable apartments on the beachfront at great prices. You can check availability and prices at www.sunsetbeachclub.com.

On the 30th October 2020, our neighbouring town of Fuengirola kicked off the 12th edition of the “Ruta de la Tapa Erótica” (Erotic Tapas Route), a simple and original idea which, since the first edition, has become a reference all over Spain. Although current circumstances are difficult, the Fuengirola Town Hall has decided to go ahead with the event and support the local restaurant industry which is going through a very tough time.
Up until the 15th November, visitors to Fuengirola will be able to enjoy this traditional Spanish snack, with a slightly “spicy” touch. This year, the route sees over 71 different establishments take part, each preparing a sensual and fun tapa, with creativity and flair being the main ingredients. Some of the participating establishments will also be offering special ‘gluten-free’, sweet or vegetarian tapas.
Anyone who visits one of the participating restaurants or bars will be able to sample one of these “erotic” tapas and a cool beer (or glass of wine) for a – very reasonable – €2.50. If you choose one of the sweet dessert tapas available in some establishments, you can choose to accompany it with a coffee, tea or sweet wine. (more…)
