Colomares Castle

Highlight • Monument

The Castillo de Colomares was built between 1987 and 1994 by the doctor Esteban Martín and is a tribute to Christopher Columbus and the discovery of America. It is not a historical building in the traditional sense, but an artistic monument that symbolically represents the story of Columbus.

Stupa of Enlightenment, Benalmádena

Highlight • Religious Site

The stupa with a wonderful view of the sea is one of the top attractions. Much on the Costa del Sol is illuminated at night, so a visit at night is also worthwhile.
The stupa can be visited and there is no entry fee. There is also a cafe and a small shop. Meditations and spiritual meetings take place in the stupa.

Benalmádena Stupa of Enlightenment

Highlight • Religious Site

Annoyingly, this is not the location of the Stupa, it is much further west, where the hiking highlight has it. Pointless detour.

Torremuelle Watchtower

Highlight • Monument

Benalmádena, "guardian of the coast" in times of the Middle Ages, with two large "eyes", the watchtowers, looking at the Mediterranean Sea. These eyes are the Torre de Quebrada and the Torre del Muelle.

Torremuelle has been an important anchorage since ancient times, as evidenced by the underwater remains and the nearby Villa Mauritania. It was an enclave of great importance, given its easy mooring place for ships and its proximity to Benalmadena Castle, which still has a good view of this watchtower. Located on a hill that drops to the beach and dominates two small coves. The environment is landscaped and there are currently no obstacles in the vicinity that limit their view.

It is a tower built from the 16th century within the surveillance system of that time. It has a truncated cone shape that rises on a circular claw. The approximate circumference is 23.80 meters with a height of more than 10 meters.

The elephants in the roundabout in Benalmádena are an impressive eye-catcher! The sculptures show a whole herd of elephants in full life size, which are so deceptively real that they almost seem alive. Daniel Jurado, a Spanish sculptor, is the creator of these fantastic works of art.

The elephants symbolize strength, community, closeness to nature and are a reminder of the importance of protecting and preserving wildlife. This herd of elephants is a great example of how public art can enrich the environment and draw attention to important issues!
