Colomares Monument
#thingstodo
A place I've been wanting to visit for so long.. And my expectations were proven. At the entrance you can buy a ticket which costs 3 euro ( in my opinion its cheap ,usually entrances in Spain are 5+ euro),the lady asks where are you from and next she gives you a printed paper with information about the place in your language. I've been genuinely surprised by this in a good way . Totally loved it. And then you enter and everything is just stunning.. if you like castle architecture or you just want to do some nice pictures I highly recommend 👌 There are free toilets and a coffee bar also
Such a beautiful, fairytale castle which renders such beautiful views of the coastline as well as castle looks so cute as backdrop in pics. Even entrance ticket are pretty reasonable. Highly recommend to visit this one
Very nice place not far away from main road. Theres nice ocen view amd a lot of small towers and hidden places - children love it. Entrance fee is low and you get a paper (many languages) about this place.

Colomares Castle - SPAIN
In the city of Benalmádena, you’ll find the Colomares Castle (Castillo de Colomares), which was built as a memorial to Christopher Columbus and the discovery of the Americas.
Esteban Martin, who started working on the project in 1987 with two bricklayers and placed the last stone seven years later, had the same goal in mind.
The Doctor was misunderstood for over 15 years and treated like a madman because of it, forcing him to fight the building like Don Quixote. He spent practically all of his wealth on this monument
The Castillo Colomares towers above the surrounding vegetation and blends in nicely with the other structures, making it difficult to see from a distance.
You’ll soon realize that it’s not a castle at all but rather a memorial to Christopher Columbus. Included in the show are three ships and the world’s tiniest church inside the walls. This is what is impressive about visiting this old building.
The construction of Castillo de Colomares lasted a long time and was influenced by a number of architectural eras. You may learn about the three religions that existed in medieval Spain (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) and about Christopher Columbus’s journey by taking a tour of the Colomares Castle.

[Europe][Spain] A night in Benalmádena
Although both Benalmádena and Torremolinos are famous for their beaches and they are adjacent to each other, I like Torremolinos better because of its local atmosphere. There are more local shops and restaurants, as well as chiringuitos in Torremolinos.

Parque de la Paloma Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Much more than a beach town
Benalmádena is well known for being a coastal town where you can enjoy fresh seafood but it is more than that. I will tell you my perfect plan for the day, waking up and going for a nice walk by the sea at the Paseo Marítimo, it will help you to wake up. Enjoy a relax breakfast and get ready for the beach morning. Then have lunch and in the afternoon visit this park. It is entrance free and you can enjoy reading a book, walking around while getting surprise by the visit of bunnies, chickens, turtles. It is very funny and loving the way they live in the “wild” in the park with no cages that make them stay. Also at night, depends of your taste, you can either have a quiet evening and enjoy a meal at a restaurant or chiringuito or do that and go night clubbing. Very complete spot!
