Benalmadena ‘Healthy Living’ Walking Routes<\/p><\/div>\n

If you enjoy a good and healthy walk when you visit Benalmadena on holiday, we\u2019ve got some great little walking routes which you must try; no need to worry about your fitness levels as there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n

Benalmadena is actually a member of the Spanish Healthy Cities Network (Red Espa\u00f1ola de Ciudades Saludables) and a couple of years ago the town hall decided to set up a 23 km walking route connecting the 3 main areas of the town, Benalmadena Costa, Arroyo de la Miel and Benalmadena Pueblo (town).<\/p>\n

There are six different routes ranging from 1.27 km to 8.11 km in length. As we mentioned earlier there is something for every level of fitness, from a leisurely stroll along the promenade to a more challenging walk up to the old town in the hills. The image above shows the different routes, the length of each route, the time it takes to walk it and even the calories you\u2019ll burn! We\u2019ve summarised each route for you below; however, if you\u2019d like to download a copy you can do so HERE<\/span> <\/a>(It\u2019s in Spanish but I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll still be able to use it :-)).<\/p>\n

Route 1 \u2013 Benalmadena Pueblo<\/strong><\/p>\n

This route takes you from the Town Hall to the Buddhist Temple and back again. It\u2019s a total of 3.74 km and should take approximately 50 minutes. I recommend you take your camera on this one as the views from the temple are spectacular!<\/p>\n

Route 2 \u2013 Benalmadena Pueblo de Veracruz Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll make your way down for the town towards Arroyo de la Miel on this 2.62 km route which will take approximately 37 minutes and help you burn just over 200 calories!<\/p>\n

Route 3 \u2013 Arroyo de la Miel (Circular)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the longest route (8.11km) and takes you on a circular tour of Arroyo de la Miel. It\u2019ll take you about 1 hour and 50 minutes to complete and you\u2019ll burn an impressive 672 calories \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Route 4 \u2013 Casa de la Cultura to Cantarranas<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the shortest route and at 1.27 km shouldn\u2019t take more than 20 minutes to complete. This one is right in the centre of town so you\u2019ll probably get to do some window shopping too!<\/p>\n

Route 5 \u2013 Benalmadena Costa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another of the longer routes this one will take you along the promenade to the Marina and then back to town again. It\u2019s 5.51 km and takes 1 hour and 14 minutes to complete. This is a favourite as it takes you along the promenade and through theMarina.<\/p>\n

Route 6 \u2013Bil Bil Castle to the Health Centre (Opposite Sunset Beach Club)<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Bil Bil Castle to the Benalmadena Health Centre,  this final route takes you right past Sunset Beach Club; it\u2019s only 1.65 km and takes just over 20 minutes to complete.<\/p>\n
