We take a walk around Benalmadena Pueblo in Spain, the traditional Spanish village.
A village it may be, but don’t underestimate the number of cultural activities and sights there are to enjoy, in and around Benalmadena Pueblo.
The ‘pueblo’ itself, is a typical Andalusian village, peppered with colourful flowers that bedeck the whitewashed houses. The central Plaza España, is a pretty square, lined with sweet smelling orange trees, the centrepiece is a fountain, featuring Benalmadena’s symbol ‘La Niña’. You can take in the surroundings at one of the square’s pleasant restaurants.
Within the pueblo we highly recommend a visit to Colmares Castle. The castle was constructed in 1984, in honour of Christopher Columbus, and is said to house the smallest chapel in the world. Just above the castle, you can visit the Santo Domingo church; perched on the peak of the hill, the church affords wonderful views across the coast.
Benalmadena Pueblo is the location for the Benalmadena Archaeological Museum; a recommended visit to view the unique and prized collection of pre-Columbian artefacts from South America, said to be the best in Europe. There is also an permanent exhibition of local antiquities and relics from pre-Roman era.
