Campo de Golf Torrequebrada

  Since it first opened in 1976 this Pepe Gancedo masterpiece has been recognised as one of the most beautiful courses on the Costa del Golf.Venue for the Spanish Open 1977.Here, the tee shot is of prime importance. A wild drive and all may be lost as trees, woods, rough, bunkers and water are all very much to the fore. Should you be tempted to confuse short length with ease of play, the third hole - only 80 metres to a long and narrow contoured green - will soon disabuse you of this notion.

Casino Torrequebrada

  Located right on the beach at Benalmadena, Torrequebrada Hotel & Casino combines the sophistication of a capital city hotel with the relaxation of a Mediterranean Country Club. On site is one of Europe’s largest casinos, a world class golf club, the Costa del Sol’s most sophisticated night club, a health club, beach club, and much more.

Paseo Marítimo 

 Benalmadena's paseo maritimo is lined with small shops and bars and fronts a long, wide beach that is kept clean and has lifeguard service. Benalmadena is certainly an attraction for tourists, most of which come on package deals as is reflected in the number of high-rise hotels that line the seafront.

Sea-Life

 
 One of the attractions that has to be visited in Benalmadena, is the Sea Life Centre which is located next to the marina. One of the first attractions on the agenda as you enter is the tank containing the stingrays. One of the startling things about this display is the closeness of the fish. It is also possible to obtain food which the fish will take from your fingers. As you wander round at a leisurely pace you come across various displays, all of which are accessible and of great interest, especially with the children. The laboratory marino is next with starfish, hermit crabs and many other strange creatures. There are members of staff available to allow closer examination.
