Bil-Bil beach (Benalmádena), one of the best beaches in Malaga and its province
In the town of Benalmádena, between Playa el Arroyo de la Miel – Los Melilleros and Santa Ana, and just over 20 km from Malaga, we find Bil-Bil beach, one of the locals’ favorites.
It has an area of almost half a kilometer and approximately 20 meters wide. It is characterized by its fine, dark sand and a calm sea with moderate waves that make it a safe beach to go with children or as a family. Around it we find a beautiful promenade, presided over by the castle that gives it its name.
Malaga beaches to spend a day between tranquility and perfection
Malaga and its coastline is so wide that, no matter how beachy you may be, you will always have a little corner to discover. Today we review some of those less common, different, singular beaches that are a haven of peace or that bring together all these characteristics so that a Sunday day, that great beach day, is perfect. From Vélez-Málaga to Manilva passing through the capital, Mijas or Marbella, take note of these unique beaches.
El río Turón, a haven of peace with corners for swimming this summer
The charming town of El Burgo is located in one of the areas of the province of Malaga where water plays a fundamental role. The Sierra de las Nieves is home to numerous springs and one of them gives rise to the Turón River. In it, various works were carried out on the river in the past with the aim of preventing future overflow disasters, building small dams to regulate the flow and implementing diversion works to control floods. These dykes, over a century old, have created spaces where visitors can enjoy a refreshing environment and take a bath during the hot summers. In addition, these corners are the starting point for several hiking routes that allow you to explore the surroundings of El Burgo and appreciate the natural beauty of the area.
This is the Alcazaba Lagoon, the largest artificial lagoon in Europe
This Caribbean resort is owned by the Crystal Lagoon company, which has more than fifty man-made lagoons with crystal clear water throughout the world. With Alcazaba Lagoon his first major project in Europe is culminated.
With this work, Crystal Lagoons adds one more project to the long list of swimming pools and lagoons that the Chilean company has under construction throughout the world. Las Vegas or Dubai are some of the cities where this type of lagoons have been carried out.
The Andalusian waterfall that falls directly into the sea
The Sanguino stream makes its way through the Cuevas de Nerja until it meets the sea in Maro. It plunges 15 meters down the cliffs, forming one of the most fascinating natural spectacles in this corner of the Costa del Sol: the Grande de Maro waterfall. Together with other waterfalls, it forms part of the set of cliffs of the Natural Area of the Cliffs of Maro – Cerro Gordo.
These are the 148 blue flags of the beaches of Andalusia
Andalusia has obtained 148 blue flags for its sustainable beaches, ports and boats in 2022, according to the Association for Environmental and Consumer Education (ADEAC). Of this total, 127 (5 more than in 2022) badges correspond to beaches, 19 (2 less than in 2022) to marinas and two to sustainable boats (same number last year), which is the best data for the community since which is awarded this mention.
“One of our great strengths as a destination is the sun and beach segment and for this reason these distinctions are very important…”
La Cala de la Doncella
La Cala de la Doncella is the last beach in the province of Malaga, already bordering the province of Granada. If you like to enjoy a virgin and secluded cove, put on good shoes, since this beach is hidden between cliffs and with steep access. Another option would be to approach from the sea, renting a Kayak.
ART, CULTURE and SOCIETY
Malaga climbs to number four of the most outstanding cities in terms of cultural offerings
Malaga is established as a meeting point for Spanish culture with the aim of celebrating and recognizing the country’s art.

The Fair attracts tourists from all corners of the globe
Europe, the most represented continent
In addition to Spaniards arriving from all over the peninsula, there are several visitors from other European countries. Among those consulted by this newspaper were tourists from the United Kingdom, Poland, Germany, Italy and France, among other parts of the continent. Many of these Europeans have been impressed by the verdiales (the quintessential Malaga cultural expression and unfortunately still largely unknown even by the anchovies themselves) and Malaga food, such as fried fish: ‘I’ve never eaten fish in my country, but I love the fish they cook in Malaga’, says Jason, from Ireland.
Trocadero Casa de Botes opens its doors this Tuesday in Malaga
The surroundings of the port of Malaga, a place in permanent recreational expansion since the revitalization of the area of Pier One and the Palmeral de las Sorpresas years ago, continues to expand its gastronomic offer with the addition of the Trocadero Casa de Botes restaurant, located in the space where this old infrastructure that gives it its name was located, and which will open its doors to the public this Tuesday, July 25.
And it is that the port enclave has been attracting the attention of large investors for years in a determined commitment to continue dynamizing one of the areas preferred by locals and tourists, especially in terms of gastronomy, with a prolonged business movement that begins to draw comparisons from the general public with the Golden Mile of Marbella.
This is the best street in Malaga for tapas (and it is also one of the most fun in the city).
One more activity for all the tourists who come to the Costa del Sol to know what is special about the area. Tapas bars have been increasing year after year in all the streets of the historic center.
Among all the streets in the center of the capital there is one where you can find this kind of bars in every corner. Calle Granada stretches for more than 400 meters and the bars and restaurants in this place make it one of the best areas to have some tapas and get to know the gastronomy of Malaga.

Malaga promotes tourism in Seoul in a rather curious (and maybe even effective) way.
Malaga is increasingly known internationally and one of the main tasks of tourism managers, both public and private, is to attract travelers from different parts of the world who have the highest possible purchasing power, for that maxim of prioritizing quality over quantity, spending on destination over over overcrowding. Although it is difficult to achieve this.
The Councillor for Tourism of the City of Malaga, Jacobo Florido, has gone no less than to South Korea to participate and inaugurate the promotional action ‘Malaga loves’, whose main hook has been the creation of an urban mural that says ‘Malaga loves Seoul’ and has been painted by the Malaga artist Eduardo Luque ‘Lalone’.

The Costa del Sol Tourism campaign ‘Grita mi nombre’ goes viral and manages to impact more than 40 million people in just two weeks
With ‘Grita mi nombre’ we wanted to show a Costa del Sol that is sure of itself, of its trajectory, of what it offers and transmits, a place that is much more than a destination or a setting, but a set of experiences and emotions. that remain forever.
With a cinematographic visual image, the campaign revives the magical essence that made the Costa del Sol an icon of tourism, including nods to the iconic photography of Martin Parr, Almodóvar’s cinema or the tourism promotion posters of the 70s. In this way, ‘Grita mi nombre’ offers a nostalgic component that invites us to look at everyday spaces with new eyes, a manifesto to rediscover places and experiences, reminding us that youth is a state of mind.

Malaga has once again slipped into the pages of the prestigious The New York Times, this time with a report on Picasso in honor of the 50th anniversary of his death. The newspaper publishes an article on the birth and development of the artist in the Andalusian city, which was “one of the best places to discover before his celebrity.” He was born there and, he points out, there he made “his extraordinary artistic talent evident”.
The first trip of love was to this town of Malaga
The romantics say that the first love trip was to this town of Malaga, although more than a town, it is a city in all its splendor. We are talking about the hypnotic Ronda, always capable of making the best of a visit to its charms and which in the past has lured the best writers and poets, turning its streets into poetry, stories or fiction. All the Moorish past of its streets and how well preserved it is. From the impressive Tagus, to the Arab Baths, passing through the New Bridge or the Church of the Holy Spirit, no matter the season, Ronda is always magical and romantic.
