You can make a discovery by the Spanish Andalusia. During your stay you can see and experience much, at your own taste and your own space.It can include well-known cities such as Ronda, Granada, Seville and Cordoba visits.

Don't forget the Alhambra in Granada when you visit Granada.This is the highlight of the visit to the city. This former palace and fortress of the Moorish kings is undoubtedly the gem of the city. The whole complex consists of several parts. If you walk to the 'red hill', you can admire the marvel of Spanish-Moorish culture.You can start at the Palacio Calos V. Or at the Alcazaba Fortress. The most impressive is the Real Alcazar, with its impressive Lions, King Hall, Baths, hall Abencerrajes. I can already predict that you will not have enough eyes to the beauty of this building. Do not forget to look up. Because the ceilings and domes can't be missed. When the Moors were expelled from southern Spain, many of their buildings were destroyed. Fortunately, that did not happen with the Alhambra. A visit to the Alhambra is not complete if you have not visited the Generalife. The north of the residence of the Alhambra located Nasridenkings is the place to itself in a quiet retreat and recover from all the impressions of the Alhambra itself. It does have one downside to a visit to the Alhambra.Youre not alone. On the contrary. There are many tourists around and it's very busy. So busy that if you do not buy a ticket in advance in high season the chance is there that you can not get one. Therefore it is wise, if you are not organized,get a ticket in advance or stay longer in Granada.The city has a lot to offer in attractions (Cathedral, Palacio de la Madraza, Casas de los Tiros) but you can also use the Sierra Nevada to go to. This mountain is located in a short distance from Granada and the snow remains on the 3000 meter peaks are sometimes up to July. You can go on wonderful walks.

PLAZA ESPANA Espana Benalmadena Beautiful square with nice restaurants. Pleasant crowds in the evening. Lots of locals. Recommended! PLAZA DE OLÉ A hidden square. Just behind the boulevard on the benalmádena side just before the marina is Plaza de Ole. Hidden away with just a small sign for reference. On the square are all kinds of nice eateries and cafes. It is a pity that the general public has not discovered this square. CASTILLO DE COLOMARES Beautiful piece of culture. This is really worth a stop if you are passing. You can enjoy some culture and history for half an hour because the castle is full of hidden symbolism. Explanation on paper in different languages. Nicely maintained with a small flowered garden. Parking near Santa Domingo Church (Iglesia de Santa Domingo) Worth a visit, also for the beautiful view. If you are in Benalmadena Pueblo, take a leisurely stroll to the square with the church. A beautiful view is the reward and the church is absolutely beautiful. You can also take the elevator from below where the parking spaces are. One more piece of advice, here are great restaurants. BUDDIST TEMPLE On top of the slope of Benalmadena is a Stupa. You can already see the golden peak from far away. You can enter and get an impression of how it is and what the building looks like on the inside. Outside you have a nice view over the coastline. BUTTERFLY PARK of Benalmadena Walk around a beautiful garden with all kinds of special flying butterflies; small and big. The cocoons were also hanging there and an explanation was also given.

That's not that expensive. €15 for 1 hour. PLAYA ARROYO DE LA MIEL Easy to get to by taxi, about 6 euros from Benalmadena also by bus. Also a ride on the cable car is exciting and fantastic views from the top on a clear day. There are many places to eat or drink. CARVAJAL BEACH Right on the border between Benalmadena and Fuengirola is Carvajal beach. A nice place to enjoy the sun, sea and beach. It is quiet and there are no real high-rise buildings here. Continue to the end of the road. Some nice restaurants and then just enjoy. PLAYA DE BENALNATURA ( Naturism ) The beach of Benalnatura.
