Fun Extras

Whether you’re going to the Marina or for a wander around Paloma Park, this is a great way to get about and discover Benalmadena!
Ronda & Setenil de las Bodegas – Full Day Tour - Included
This full-day tour explores the striking inland towns of Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas. In Ronda, begin at the Alameda (Mirador de la Serranía) before continuing along the Orson Welles promenade to the historic bullring, dating back to 1572 and considered one of the most important in Spain for its heritage and artistry. The route then leads to the iconic Puente Nuevo, where from the Aldehuela viewpoint you can take in sweeping views of both the 18th-century bridge and the Old Bridge spanning the dramatic El Tajo gorge. After free time in the old town, the journey continues to Setenil de las Bodegas for a walking tour through its unique streets, where whitewashed homes are built directly into massive rock overhangs, creating its famous “hanging houses,” before returning to the coast.
Nerja & Frigilana - Half Day Tour - Included
Perched around 300 metres above sea level and enjoying a mild subtropical microclimate, Frigiliana feels like a village suspended in time. Its award-winning historic quarter reflects its rich Moorish heritage, with steep, narrow, winding streets forming a distinctive maze of whitewashed houses and flower-filled corners. The area’s deep history is further highlighted nearby at the Caves of Nerja, discovered in 1959 and home to some of the oldest known cave paintings in human history. Free time allows you to explore the caves, village centre, visit local viewpoints, and enjoy nearby highlights such as the famous Balcony of Europe, small museums, and charming churches along the coast.
For additional excursions, a local operator offers day trips and short getaways to nearby cities and attractions.
