Excellent Cuisine And Affluent Marina

Benalmadena holidays will take you to the heart of the sunny Costa del Sol coastline on mainland Spain, nestling between Torremolinos and Fuengirola. With just a 20 minute transfer time from Malaga airport, this is an ideal family destination. Summer temperatures often hit 30? and the wide sandy beaches are a magnet for sun seekers and water sport enthusiasts alike. Accommodation ranges from all inclusive luxury to excellent value for money self catering apartments. Eating out is a delight with a wide range of menus available. International cuisine will include the traditional Tapas Bars, Chinese and Indian restaurants, with many seafood restaurants along the seafront offering barbeques and fish cooked fresh from the sea. There are also plenty of bars serving food with a la carte menus or good old fashioned British pub grub on offer, there are even value for money menus offering two for one and meal deals for kids.

Nightlife in Benalmadena is also very varied, from clubs and discos for those who like to party until dawn to family friendly bars with sports channels, pool tables and karaoke. Benalmadena holidays could see you relaxing in the affluent Marina, watching the world go by while sipping a cold beer or wine at one of the many bars and cafes mingling amongst the multi million pound yachts, and designer shops.

The promenade stretches into the distance, lined with small shops, bars and restaurants, edging the golden sands that seem to go on forever. Beaches that are dotted with sun beds and umbrellas, boardwalks that stop your feet from burning in the hot sun, showers scattered along the beach to cool you down and clean off the sand; while the lifeguards keep a watchful eye on all that is going on.

Dolphins And Sealions, Parrots And Penguins

Tired of relaxing on the beach? Then head indoors to cool down in the Sealife Aquarium, a wonderful display of over 5000 species of exotic marine life and home to the largest collection of sharks in Europe. A trip to Selwo Marina Dolphinarium is a must while on holidays in Benalmadena, watch the Dolphin and Sea Lion shows, then sit in the outdoor theatre to watch birds of prey amaze you and the cheeky colourful parrots entertain you. Then leave the hot sun and wander into the authentic igloo, home to many species of penguin, watch them as they are fed and learn a little of where they come from. Arroya de la Miel lays just further back from the beach and is the main residential area but also has a great choice of bars and restaurants. This is also where you'll find the exciting Tivoli World; a theme park that only opens on an evening and has fantastic Wild West and Flamenco shows with rides and amusements for all ages. Just nearby you can catch a cable car up Calamorro Mountain, although not for the feint hearted once you are up there the views are absolutely breathtaking. On a clear day you can see as far as Gibraltar and the coast of Africa.

Parque de Paloma offers a relaxing break from the beach in a purpose built park with manmade lake and small animals and birds wandering freely around. If walking around the resort is a little energetic then catch the train on wheels that takes you on a circular route from the park to the marina. The rail links along the Costa del Sol are very frequent and reliable; you can easily visit nearby Torremolinos and Fuengirola or for a taste of culture, take a trip into Malaga and visit the Picasso Museum.

Day trips are also available to Gibraltar and Tangiers on the North coast of Africa. Benalmadena Pueblo is the original village and worth a visit to see an authentic Spanish town almost hidden amongst the high rise tourist industry. Benalmadena is a typical bustling Spanish tourist area with that little bit of a difference, with the vibrant marina and family friendly beaches, tourist attractions and natural beauty, yet somewhere you can still enjoy the traditional Spanish feel, so book your holidays to Benalmadena at Late Deals today and see exactly what we mean for yourself.
