1. Discover Benalmádena's past

The town's heritage will allow you to immerse yourself and learn about the past and history behind the walls. Although many tourists choose Benalmádena for its beaches, the town has plenty of history and monumental wealth you should not miss. Cueva del Toro, the Phoenician site of La Era, watchtowers of Torremuelle, Torrequebrada and Bermeja are interesting historical sites worth visiting from your villa for rent in Marbella. The Castle of Colomares and the Ventorrillo de la Perra are some of the must-sees in the area.

2. Get the best views of Benalmádena

Get on a cable car in Benalmádena, one of the best attractions in the town. The cable car goes from the centre of Arroyo de la Miel to the top of Mount Calamorro. Sitting at 771 metres above sea level from the top, you will get amazing views of the Mediterranean coast, The Rock of Gibraltar and the snowy African summits of the Atlas. In addition, enjoy a nice cuppa at the cafe while enjoying the views or watch a show where the main performers are birds of prey.

3. Try some "pescaíto frito"

Spain is well known for its gastronomy and the popular Mediterranean diet based on fresh produce, fish, meat and the best fruit and veggies in the country. In Southern Spain, the Andalusian style uses "las frituras", which have become part of its tradition and culinary culture. A few tapas of "pescaíto frito" (small deep-fried fish) are a popular bite that pairs very well with a fresh pint of cold beer. As gastronomy in the south is based on fresh fish and other marine products, you can delight your tastebuds with shellfish, rice and a great variety of fish. The mouth-watering bites will make you fall in love with the flavours of the South. Don't forget to carry some to your villa in Benalmadena.

4. Stroll around Benalmádena Pueblo

To escape the crowds, Benalmádena Pueblo is the right spot. This quaint traditional village has small Andalusian houses and cobbled streets lined with white-washed facades and unique little shops to experience the Spanish way of life. Wander from your villa for rent in Benalmadena and explore the traditional square, where you will see the fountain and the statue of La Nina. Have a nice meal at any of the restaurants where you can sit outside under the shade of the orange trees.

5. Spend some time around Benalmádena Puerto Marina

The marina area is a hive of activity day and night. Puerto Marina is home to many yachts and boats. It also has great restaurants and bars to enjoy nibbles, drinks or fancy meals at night. The shopping contributes to the allure of the area. As a family, you can have fun with your children at the amusement arcades or designated play areas for the younger ones. Take a day trip from your villa in Nerja and enjoy, eat and relax!

6. Enjoy a natural paradise

Parque de la Paloma is one of Spain's only five parks. This park is set back from the main beach area and is filled with the largest collection of different kinds of cacti from 450 species. The fauna of the area includes guinea pigs, emus, donkeys and goats, and they walk freely around the park. Take a nice stroll and enjoy the views, the quietness and the wildlife. You can also enjoy a great picnic with the family.

7. Hire a jet ski

As a coastal resort, the offer of water sports is wide. You can choose your favourite activity, but one of the most popular is hiring a jet ski, hoverboard or flyboard. Be ready for some action, and get on it! Alternatively, find a holiday rental in San Pedro Alcantara and try other water sports like parasailing and scuba diving.
