hi hope!
we went on the cable car,last sept.you can definately,get a one way ticket,but there's no way,i wouldv'e attempted,to walk back down.it's quite a long way up,you know.
once at the top,there was a bird show,which was quite interesting,a free donkey ride,a cafe & some walking trails.
the view is fantastic,it's well worth going up,i'm glad we did.
it is a cable car,you sit in.with a sliding door,but i'd definately,do the easy option & get a return

have just uploaded,2 photos,of the cable car.they might give you an idea,of how high & of how far it goes.
cheers tracy

Scroll down to cable cars Benalmadena

We also have some views taken from the top of the cable car ride. Those can be viewed here Be aware the cars are quite small and only take two or three people at a time depending or height and other factors.
I didn't manage to get to see the bird show and I was definately not going on a donkey ride free or not

There is a free horse riding show and falconry show at the top. 12:30 and 15:30.
Sadly the Yovuelo parapente is no more.Myself and the wife were going to give it another go on our last trip to the top.

Thanks to everyone who replied,all very interesting especially the pictures,will certainly go on them but maybe buy a return ticket. .Thanks again,love Hope.

take a look here where you will find a couple of film clips of the birds of prey and the cablecar ride down. There are also more ideas for something different to do
