As well as a visitor attraction and wonderful viewing platform out over the Med, it's used by the Town Hall as an exhibition centre and a venue for various concerts and cultural events.
BENALMADENA MARINA (Puerto Deportivo)
The marina is man-made, created using artificial islands and has its own special ambience. The Benalmadena marina is one of the most amazing port and residential developments in the world. It has model installations and an attractive, unique architectural style.

The is a Mountain Cable Car by Tivoli world and at the top of the mountain apart from stunning views there is a nature park and trail with Wild Birds of Prey demonstrations through out the year.

Torrequebrada PGA Golf Course
The Costa del Sol is a superb destination for golf, with over 40 courses situated along the coast. Our apartment overlooks the Torrequebrada PGA golf course and is within walking distance to the "19th Hole". More details are available on request and bookings can also be arranged at concessionary rates. Since it first opened in 1976 this Pepe Gancedo masterpiece has been recognised as one of the most beautiful courses on the Costa del Golf and was the Venue for the Spanish Open 1977. Here, the tee shot is of prime importance. A wild drive and all may be lost as trees, woods, rough; bunkers and water are all very much to the fore. Should you be tempted to confuse short length with ease of play, the third hole - only 80 metres to a long and narrow contoured green - will soon disabuse you of this notion.
