The following buses also go to the above attractions but the bus stop is located just in front of the windmill roundabout that leads up to Paloma Park: M-112, M-121, M-126.<\/li><li>If you fancy taking a trip up to <strong>Benalm\u00e1dena Pueblo<\/strong> to visit the <strong>Museo Precolombino, the Butterfly Park or the Buddhist Temple<\/strong>, take the M-103 (bus stops outside Sunset Beach Club) or the M-112, M-121, M-124 or M-126 (from the bus stop in front of windmill roundabout).<\/li><li>To visit <strong>the Marina<\/strong> and <strong>Sea Life Aquarium<\/strong>, buses M-110 and M-120 will get you there in just a few minutes. (both stop outside Sunset Beach Club)<\/li><li><strong>Bioparc Zoo in Fuengirola<\/strong> is another popular attractions, especially if you have kids. Bus n\u00ba M-120 will take you to the centre of Fuengirola and then it\u2019s just a short walk to Bioparc. (Please note that this bus stops on the opposite side of the road, just in front of the Best hotel)<\/li><li>To go to <strong>Torremolinos<\/strong> and visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunsetbeachclub.com\/blog\/holiday-tips\/aqualand-water-park-torremolinos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Aqualand Water Park<\/strong><\/a> or the <strong>Crocodile Park<\/strong>, you\u2019ve got a few options: From Sunset Beach Club take the M-110 and M-120 buses; from Arroyo de la Miel, the M-112, M-121, M-124, M-125 or M-126 buses.<\/li><li>Fancy visiting the picturesque village of <strong>Mijas<\/strong> and take a ride on their famous donkeys? You\u2019ve got a couple of options: Walk up to the windmill roundabout (15 minutes) and then take the M-112 or M-121 buses which run all year. Note that during the summer months there is a night bus service on this route (M-620). The second option is to take the M-120 bus to Fuengirola (bus stop in front of Best hotel) and then take the connecting bus service up to Mijas.<\/li><li><strong>Malaga City Centre<\/strong> is a must-visit, especially for culture vultures! A visit to the famous <strong><em>Muelle Uno<\/em><\/strong> waterfront is also highly recommended. To get to the centre of Malaga just take the M-110 bus (from outside the hotel) and get off at the last stop. From Arroyo de la Miel or the windmill roundabout, you can take the M-112 bus.<\/li><li><strong>A visit to the capital of glamour and the jetset, Marbella<\/strong>, is also possible by taking the M-320 bus from just in front of the hotel. Please bear in mind that the travel card only covers part of the journey (as far as Mijas Costa) as Marbella is not part of the consortium that runs the travel card service.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The following apps are available on  <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/es\/app\/consorcio-m%C3%A1laga\/id992881341?mt=8\">iTunes<\/a>) and <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=es.ctmam.movil&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Google Play<\/span><\/strong><\/a> so that you to see information on all the Benalmadena Bus services (timetables, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We hope you enjoy your stay in <strong>Benalmadena<\/strong> and that this guide helps you get out and discover the wonderful sights and attractions our resort has to offer.
