With just a couple of weeks to go until Christmas, Benalmádena is getting into the Christmas spirit by celebrating the 15th edition of the International Christmas Festival.
On the 13th, 14th and 15th of December, you can visit Plaza Mezquita (it was Plaza Adolfo Suarez last year but they’ve changed it back to its original location again this year) from 13:00h to midnight (until 21:00h on Sunday 15th December) and enjoy the festive customs, musical shows, exquisite gastronomy and typical products and crafts from all the participating countries.
Benalmadena is ready for Christmas. During December and the beginning of January, we´ll enjoy a wide and varied program of activities for the whole family.
Below we’ve highlighted some of these activities and at the end of this post you will find a link to the complete program – we couldn’t fit the whole thing in the post! (Please note that the program is in Spanish)
If you’re planning on visiting the Costa del Sol this Christmas, you’ve got to visit Málaga City Centre to see the stunning Christmas Light display and show in the city’s famous Calle Larios as well as other colourful decorations throughout the city centre.
On the 6th and 7th September – the picturesque white village of Guaro celebrates the 26th edition of its famous ‘Luna Mora’ Festival.
As has been the case since before the pandemic, festivities have been reduced to two days (It’s used to be four). However, they’ve still managed to put together an impressive programme of events with activities and entertainment for all the family.
Throughout the weekend, the village becomes a meeting point for traditional Andalusí music and culture. The streets come alive in the evenings with the stunning illumination of 20,000 candles strategically positioned to create a unique and magical ambience. Visitors will also be able to enjoy the traditional Arab artisan market, workshops (Henna and belly dancing), street performers, storytelling and mouth-watering gastronomy.
If you’re a fan of food trucks and street food then you’re going to love the Festival taking place in Pueblosol (Arroyo de la Miel) from the 2nd to the 4th August.
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!
