The City Council has just announced that they will be launching a new application called ‘Social Beach’ so that we can know in real-time the capacity of each beach in the town.

Are you looking for recommendations of the best bars in Benalmadena?
Back in 2012, we asked our Facebook fans to name their favourite bars in Benalmádena and included their recommendations in this Blog post. It’s been 8 years now so we felt the post needed updating so we asked our Facebook fans the same question again… Below you’ll find their top recommendations as to the best places to enjoy their favourite drink!
We’ve prepared the list in order of most mentions; that doesn’t mean one is better than the other but does give you an idea of which are most popular amongst Sunset Beach Club guests 😉 We’ve also left some of the bars that were mentioned in 2012 but that didn’t get a mention this time as we are aware that they are also very popular. We hope you find the list useful!
Next week Benalmadena will host the 2nd Half Marathon and 5th Coast Run organised by Holiday World Resort and the Benalmadena Town Hall. All funds raised during both events will go to the Proyecto Hombre foundation in Málaga.

Those of you who have been lucky enough to celebrate New Year’s Eve here in Spain will be familiar with the tradition of eating 12 ‘lucky’grapes as the clock strikes midnight.

Although many believe the tradition of eating the 12 lucky grapes at midnight on New Year’s Eve originated in 1909 due to a bumper crop of white grapes in the Almeria, Murcia and Alicante regions, it appears that this might not be entirely correct. (more…)
Arroyo de la Miel is getting ready to celebrate the 37th edition of its famous ‘Carrera Urbana del Pavo’ (Urban Turkey Race) which will take place on Sunday the 15th December, 2019.
This traditional race was first held 37 years ago when participants had to run after a live turkey! Nowadays the turkey is taking a well-earned rest; however, the winner of the race does get to take home a fantastic specimen to enjoy with their family over Christmas dinner! 🙂 (more…)
Faulty Towers, The Original Dining Experience is coming back to Sunset Beach Club on Saturday 16th November 2019!
Officially the world’s longest-running dining experience, this one-of-a-kind original has been selling out at venues around the world for nearly 22 years – including Sydney Opera House and London’s West End. Critically acclaimed as an ‘outrageously funny’ night out (Broadway Baby, Edinburgh Fringe), this all-in-one experience returns to Spain and Gibraltar for a short tour in November 2019 and will be held in Sunset Beach Club’s Sala Málaga Banquet Hall on Saturday 16th November. Be warned: tickets for all the other shows on the Coast are practically sold out, so early booking is essential so that you don’t miss out on this evening of fun dining! (more…)
