Costa del Sol is a well known and beautiful part of Spain that lies along the Southern coast. Millions of tourists flock to the area each year to take advantage of the region's expansive beaches, rich culture, and perhaps to take in a little celebrity watching, as the area is also a favorite of the rich and famous. Over the years the area has undergone drastic urban renewal, making it a prime holiday destination. The region's year round balmy and warm climate attract many people on holiday looking to just relax along the mild waters of the Mediterranean.

Benalmadena is part of the Málaga province of Costa del Sol. Tourists often visit the area known as Benalmadena Costa, a resort that winds from the coast into the mountains. Visitors can take a cable car up the mountain to see the sights, or unwind by strolling along the city's famous marina. The marina can accommodate up to a thousand vessels and has won "Best Marina In The World" award many times over. Surrounded by bars and restaurants, it's well known for its fast paced and glitzy nightlife. There's also a bounty of water sport activities, with everything from yachting, kayaking, scuba diving and sailing.

Another very popular attraction in Benalmadena is the Enlightenment Stupa, a Buddhist monument and meditation structure and one of the largest in Europe. Representing peace and prosperity, the stupa is also the site of exhibitions on buddhism and Himalayan culture.

Benalmadena holidays offer a little something for everyone. Couples can take advantage of the sparkling blue waters, beaches, and nightclubs, and families can visit the aquarium, located in the marina, or take a short trip to nearby Arroyo de la Miel's theme park, Tivoli World.
