From Thursday 27th August to Sunday 30th August 2026, Benalmádena Pueblo (the old town) will host the latest edition of its Arabian Market (Zoco), an event which, once again, returns to the town’s summer cultural programme.
The Arabian Market will be spread out throughout various locations, running from Calle Real to Plaza de Andalucia and Plaza Santa Cruz. Aimed to promote the town’s beauty and charm, the town hall hopes this unique event will once again attract tourists from all over the Coast.
If you’re staying at Sunset Beach Club this week and looking for something a little different to enjoy in the evening, the Birra & Art Craft & International Beer Festival is taking place in Benalmádena Pueblo from 23rd to 26th July.
Held at the Recinto Ferial Los Nadales (the fairground), this popular summer event combines craft beer, live music and a lively atmosphere in one of the Costa del Sol’s most charming settings.
This Sunday 7th June 2026, 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 ‘Castillo de Colomares’ (Colomares Castle) in Benalmadena is one of the most interesting tourist attractions the municipality has to offer. It’s not really a castle, it’s more of a monument which was built between 1987 and 1994 by Esteban Martín MD as a tribute to Christopher Columbus and the discovery of America.
This unique monument unifies various architectural styles which had a marked effect on Spanish culture: Bizantine, Romanesque, Arabic and Gothic.
A walk around the Colomares Castle will allow you to discover various elements from the symbols of the Catholic Kings, from the three cultures present in medieval Spain (Judaism, Christianity and Islamism) and other elements from Christopher Columbus’ epic voyage. (more…)
