Going on holiday is supposed to be a relaxing experience; however, sometimes we need a little help to switch into relaxation mode.
We’ve certainly got a few suggestions as to how to go about disconnecting from the hustle and bustle of your hectic daily life, but we thought we’d ask our guests (through our Facebook page) for their recommendations on the best activities to relieve stress in Benalmadena.

It’s official, Malaga is now the first city in the world (outside of France) to house a ‘Pop-up’ Pompidou art centre.
