During the months of July and August, Benalmadena town hall has once again organized a special programme called “Cultura en la Calle” (Culture in the streets), an impressive selection of free cultural shows in different locations around the municipality (Benalmadena Pueblo, Arroyo de la Miel and Benalmadena Costa).
You’ll be able to enjoy entertainment in the following locations: Plaza Adolfo Suárez (Pueblosol), Paloma Park, Plaza de Andalucía, Los Nadales Fairground, Malapesquera Beach and the area in front of Bil-Bil Castle (just a few minutes walk from Sunset Beach Club).
Fancy trying a fun new water park where you’ll be able to jump, slide, dive and test your balance skills?
If you’ve walked along the promenade in Benalmadena, Puerto Banus or Fuengirola, you may well have seen some bizarre-looking inflatable structures floating about 50m offshore. Well, these are actually state-of-the-art water parks where you and the family will have a whale of a time!
This Sunday 2nd June 2024, Benalmádena will celebrate Corpus Christi, a gorgeous festivity full of colour and amazing aromas thanks to a spectacular carpet of flowers laid on the streets by the villagers.
This beautiful festivity is celebrated in many Andalusian villages sixty days after Easter Sunday; however, Benalmadena Pueblo’s rendition is now regarded as one of the most beautiful in the province, attracting many visitors.
The white village of Mijas has a hidden secret which for the last few years has been delighting chocolate lovers from all over the world… We’re referring to Mayan Monkey Mijas, a fabulous chocolate factory where you can take part in workshops to make your own sweet creations!
The sign above the entrance to this delightful chocolate factory and museum says it all, “Happiness Laboratory”.
Located in the village’s main ‘Plaza Virgen de la Peña’ Mayan Monkey isn’t your ordinary chocolate factory. From the minute you walk in you are greeted by friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff who are on hand to help you with all your chocolate-related queries or needs. They’ll tell you stories about the chocolate’s origins and offer you samples to try. And trust us, the place has an impressive collection of exotic chocolate treats which will make you think you’re in Chocolate Heaven!
