From the 15th to the 17th September Benalmadena will host a new edition of its Oktoberfest Beer Festival.
This fun concept has been highly successful in other towns along the Costa del Sol and now returns to Benalmadena for 3 days of fun and the best beers! The event takes place in Plaza Adolfo Suárez (Pueblo Sol).
This Beer Festival will bring together the essence of the world-famous Oktoberfest celebrations and the hospitality of Benalmadena and its citizens. Visitors to the festival will have the opportunity to sample more than 20 different beers from Germany and other parts of the world, and we mustn’t forget the delicious and typical German foods on offer… Roast pork, a wide variety of sausages, sauerkraut and pretzels to name but a few!
From Thursday 24th August to Sunday 27th August 2023, Benalmádena Pueblo (the old town) will host the latest edition of its Arabian Market (Zoco), an event that once again returns to the town’s summer cultural programme.
The Arab Market will take place in the following locations throughout the town: Plaza de las Tres Culturas, Plaza de España; in Calle Real and in the ‘Jardines del Muro’. Aimed to promote the town’s beauty and charm, the town hall hopes this unique event will again attract tourists from all over the Coast.
This week (from the 11th to the 15th August) is ‘Feria’ week here in Benalmadena with the ‘Pueblo’ (Town) celebrating festivities in honour of their patron, the Virgen de la Cruz.
Obviously, this is a very traditional event and many of the activities and events organised for the week may not appeal to many of our guests; however, we’ve put together a short list of – what we feel are – some of the highlights of the fair and that you might enjoy. Here goes…
Until the 8th October 2023 you can visit the largest LEGO® exhibition in Europe.
The exhibition is made up of more than 100 large LEGO®models located in a large 1500m2 space in Málaga Factory (Málaga Nostrum Shopping Centre).
You’ll find stunning special sections featuring specific themes such as spectacular buildings, interactive models, world architecture, educational models, the Human Body, science, history, superheroes, paintings made from LEGO®pieces and lots more!
The ‘Virgen del Carmen‘ celebrations take place in Benalmadena Marina this weekend (from Friday).
The Benalmadena town hall has prepared various events which will take place on Friday 14th, Saturday 15th, and Sunday 16th July, including a wonderful procession through the streets of Benalmádena Costa in which the fishermen will carry their ‘Stella Maris’ to the Marina. Here she’ll be lifted aboard a boat and paraded along the Benalmadena coastline (weather permitting).
If you’ve got some good binoculars, a great place to watch this is from the terrace in our Panorama Bar here at Sunset Beach Club or from the promenade just in front of the hotel. (more…)
If you’re planning on visiting the Costa del Sol over the next few weeks and you have kids (or are interested in dinosaurs) you might want to pay a visit to the Dinosaurs Tour exhibition taking place in Málaga from the 20th May 2023 to the 4th June 2023.
Located in a large marquee in Malaga’s fairground (next to the Conference and Exhibition Centre) the Dinosaurs Tour exhibition will feature 22 life-size animatronic dinosaurs simulating the real-life movements and behaviours of these fascinating prehistoric creatures. You’ll come across all your favourite species of dinosaur including, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Protoceratops, Diplodocus and Triceratops! (more…)
