Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Benalmadena, Andalucia

July 10, 2021 Rebbecca Marino

While most visitors choose Benalmadena for its glorious beaches, there are plenty of other attractions to keep your family amused. Take a trip out to sea on a boat or a ferry; you can even go whale and dolphin watching. A cable car ride would make a welcome change, or perhaps a visit to Bil Bil Castle. The castle is distinctive with its Arabian architecture, and it hosts concerts as well as art exhibitions. Visit the Sea Life Centre, where you can walk through the transparent tunnels in the underwater park or watch feeding demonstrations; the centre even has a mini golf course. At the end of a relaxing day, Benalmadena becomes a great place for nightlife. Whatever kind of cuisine you are looking for, you are sure to find a restaurant that will suit your family's tastes.

We have visited the Publo on many occasions and it never seems to change it is still as tranquil as ever.. If you like peace and tranquility this is the place for you.The little white houses with bright flowerpots ,quiet narrow streets is wonderful.The view from the top of the Publo are spectacular,looking down over the coast. There are a few little bars and restaurants so no need to go hungry or thirsty. Can't wait to go back.

Garden of Eagles (Jardin de Las Aguilas)

Birds of Prey center

Reviewed By Kelpie48 - Inverness, United Kingdom

TIP - The shop at the top is really slow, and you should consider taking your own drinks up with you. we had to give up queuing after about 20 minutes and get the cable car back down. we got this as part of the cable car ticket, and were not disappointed with the display, the birds were just beautiful and looked extremely well looked after and health. Where i live i sometimes see Golden Eagles in the distance, and am always excited when i do. The golden eagle here was just spectacular, it soared high, and then it dropped for the 'kill' on a fox fir, and i can honestly say that i have never seen anything so impressive, and will remember it for ever. the other birds were really impressive too, and flew very close to one part of the audience. this is well worth a visit as part of the cable car ticket

We were staying in Benalmadena Pueblo and this was just a short 15-20 minute walk down hill (but a steep walk back up) from where we were staying.The entrance fee was just €2.00 which was great value and in our opinion was well worth a visit.
