Haven't been back out here for nearly 20 years since I was a kid. 98, 00, 02 and the last time 2004. That tanges sports bar wasn't even there when I last went on 04, that was just a big open area above the supermarket. This has bought back so many memories.

Thanks Kev, we stay in Benalmadena a few times a year and mix our nights out between the Marina, the Sea Front and Bonanza Square. Excellent atmosphere and good value for money. There’s no live entertainment in these bars. There is an excellent wine bar just down the steps at the Feathers Bar and around to the left. Good quality food and an excellent choice of wines. Occasionally they have live Spanish music,great night. Cheers ☘️☘️☘️

Good morning to you Kevin, and thank you for your response. If and when you may have the opportunity, please feature the 'Bonanza Bar'. Should anyone remember the compere and his lady, Joyce? Joyce passed away around five years ago. Such a TRAGIC loss, what a lovely lady she was.

Who remembers some of the staff in Johnnie's Bar, (Especially the GORGEOUS Cathy,It's Getting Better!), where I loved to have a 'tuna sandwich' some years ago? Ricky Lavazza, AND The Costa Soul Band/Tommy Scott/Jeff Lynne/Johnnie G/Lesley Harrison, AND Limited Edition as Kool &The Gang...GREAT bunch of people!

Hi Kevin . Going to Benalmadena for the first time with a group of friends . Would you recommend getting a hotel near the bonzana square ? 24 square ? Or the Marina ? Thanks.
@ScotsmaninTenerife Жыл бұрын
Probably down towards Marina you can easily walk into Torremolinos and there are lots of good bars in the street just off the prom on your way. There are some good bars near 24 hour square but I wasnt a fan of the square

I went looking for Bonanza on my 1st trip to Torremolinos. This was about 10 yrs ago, and tried to find it on Google maps. It led me to a tired little parade of pubs, maybe 5 or 6 of them, either empty or closed. Never went back to the area. I'm actually dumbstruck seeing that

Bonansa and Ibensa are aimed at pensioners and families with children. The entertainment is like the 1980s - karaoke, drag acts etc and the food is canteen standard. Hence why it's so cheap. It's a blight on the town to be honest.
