The hotel Torrequebrada is in Benalmádena, one of the most important resorts on the Costa del Sol, an extraordinary tourist attraction due to its perfect combination of the sea, a pleasant climate and breathtaking landscapes. The town’s coastline is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, whilst in the surrounding is Benalmádena-Pueblo, a calm, peaceful little place typical of the famous Andalusian mountain village.
Benalmádena-Costa is a truly cosmopolitan resort whose vast range of leisure and recreational amenities include its marina, with more than one thousand mooring places for pleasure craft.
The many cultural and entertainment facilities make this town an important attraction all year round. Here, too, the visitor can enjoy Málaga’s excellent cuisine, based principally on fish and seafood.
The main sights here include Castillo de Bil-Bil, Castillo de Colomares (built to pay tribute to Christopher Columbus), the Museo de Cultura Precolombina Culture, Sea Life (an aquarium and exhibition centre devoted to Mediterranean fauna), the Selwo Marina, a park featuring a huge variety of South American flora and fauna, the Cable Car, with its magnificent birds-eye views over the sea, and the Tivoli, a funfair with many bars and restaurants.
Outstanding amongst the great historic and artistic heritage to be found in the city of Málaga, just a few minutes from Benalmádena, is the Alcazaba, or Moorish palace-fortress.
Another attraction is the old town, with its narrow winding streets and tiny squares, and which is also a popular area for tapas. Nearby stands the Catedral de la Encarnación, known to the locals as “La Manquita”, or One-Armed Lady, since it is incomplete, one of its towers never having been built.
Other sights in Málaga include the Teatro Romano, built in the 1st century, and Castillo
