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.

This week sees the opening of Fun Street Park Málaga—the largest inflatable park in the world. This new venue promises visitors of all ages hours of endless fun.
What Is Fun Street Park Málaga?

Located in Málaga Fórum, within the Guadalhorce Industrial Estate, the new park is about a 25‑minute drive from Sunset Beach Club.

Although not the high season here in Benalmadena, Christmas time offers lots of interesting things to keep the whole family entertained.
Our guests often ask us for recommendations on things to do at this time of year so we’ve decided to put together this list which includes activities and specific places you can visit during the holidays.
