Me the wife and 11 year old daughter off to benalmadena in July and we've been before but didn't go to Fuengirola at all. As there is a bus to it i was wondering if it's worth a visit? Is there much there?
Cheers

I think you will find it worth a visit for a change of scenery as it is a large resort with a very long promenade to walk along and plenty of shops, restaurants and bars.

Hi,

i'm off 2 benelmadena in july too and we've decided this morning we're definately taking a trip to Fuengirola Zoo whilst we're there!

Other places I'd recommend are Tivoli World and Torromilinos (sp?!) Water Park, both great places and will be great for your daughter!

Give me a yell if you want any more info on either place, been to Benelmadena 4 times now!

My sister in law and family came out to see us, a couple of years ago, and they said the Zoo is execellent, one of the best they have been to.
And yes the cable car and tivioli world are smashing too.
Hope you enjoy your trip.

oh the zoo is a must,the food is not expensive in there either unlike the UK.Ther is a show on twice a day,of the animals,go and see it.going in July agan,must visit the zoo at least 3 times a year :lol:

Further on from the zoo not far is the big shopping centre,Myama,and a great big Dunnes super storer,worth a visit.Benalmadena has so much to offer,a boat trip is good too on the Marina
The bus will cost you 1 euro 15 cents each,each way,number 120 from Benal

thanks for the info guys,

We're planning on going to Tivoli World, the Dolphin park and the crocodile park! I'd not heard of the zoo. Sounds like we'll have to go there too then!

Mijas Costa - end of July

(Sorry - this should have been a new thread!

)

Hi guys,

I'm heading out to Mijas Costa for a few days R & R at the end of July to stay with the olds. I'm in my 20's so any recommendations for water sports, best nightlife nearby (Fuengirola??), how far is Puerto Banus?

Anyone else out there at the same time?

Muchos gracias.

we are going to Benal,adena in Jully aswell, staying in the Jupiter complex. Think we will go to the Zoo . Can anyone give us info on the best way to get from Malaga airport to Benalmadena and the Jupiter complex, we arrive around 10pm so is a Taxi the easiest and if so how much to expect to pay? thanks

The last train goes a little after 10.30 so you would have been hard pushed to have caught it. The taxi will cost you a little more than that now. A friends son came to stay last weekend and he was charged 32 euros - he questioned it (in Spanish) and was told that was the price!!

32 Euro's does seem a lot, maybe the bus would be a better option, anyone know 'bout the bus times / cost / frequency. Thanks again

It sounds like your friend's son was 'done' paying 32 euros! You should never pay more than 25, take the right money and just give it to them, they'll be more than happy :wink:
