Teleférico Benalmadena

Benalmádena is a large town on the Costa del Sol. Benalmádena has more than 8km of blue flag beaches some of which are in small coves and often have rocks at the ends of them. The sand is not as fine as some of the other resorts but a lot of work is done to maintain the cleanliness of all of the beaches. From Benalmadena marina you can walk all the way along a flat promenade to Torremolinos with plenty of little bars and restaurants on the way for refreshments.

There are water-sports facilities at the yacht club and plenty of golf courses in the vicinity. By night there is no end of bars and nightclubs and there is a casino at the upmarket Hotel Torrequebrada.
