Benalmadena, Costa del Sol, Spain

The Spanish resort of Benalmadena is to be found on the South Coast of Spain, in the part of Andalucia known as the Costa del Sol. It is sandwiched between the two larger and perhaps better known resorts that are Torremolinos and Fuengirola.

Benalmadena is seen in the photo to the right from the summit of Mount Calamorro, which is reached courtesy of The Teleferico Cable Car and this proves to be an exciting day out for all the family. The views both during the fifteen minute cable car trip and all around from the summit are spectacular. There is also a restaurant/cafe to provide refreshment as you drink in the scenery and a Birds of Prey Show is provided, inclusive of the price of the ticket, weather permitting.

We stayed in the three-star Hotel Bali during our visit to Benalmadena and the Costa del Sol and found it to be both extremely accomodating and convenient for all the attractions which Benalmadena has to offer, including the beach, the magnificent marina, the bars and shops and even the railway station to take us onward to other places.

Welcome to the Blog of the Curious Traveller

Travelling is a big part of both our lives and we share a common interest in seeing new places and experiencing new cultures and events. The extent of our travels has so far been limited to within the confines of Great Britain and Continental Europe but that is something which we hope to rectify in the not too distant future.

We very much hope that you will join us on this adventure of travel through Europe and ultimately beyond and that you will follow this Blog in the simplest way possible by selecting the option from the panel to the left hand side of the page, entitled "Followers." This will allow you to be notified of what will be regular updates to this Blog via e-mail.

So pour yourself a drink, make yourself comfortable and allow us to transport you to a whole host of different and exciting destinations around Europe and - some day - far beyond...
