Benalmadena, Spain

Little Britain-by-the-Med

"Where sangria meets Sunday roast"

Official Coat of Arms

A shield divided quarterly featuring: a golden cable car ascending towards a blazing sun, a rampant fish-and-chips wrapper on a field of azure, crossed golf clubs beneath a crown of high-rise hotels, all supported by two dolphins wearing sombreros and holding pints of lager.

TripAdvisor Review

★★★☆☆ 3/5

"Went expecting authentic Spanish culture but found myself in what felt like Blackpool with better weather. The highlight was definitely the cable car up to Mount Calamorro - stunning views if you can see past all the Union Jack towels on the beach below. My kids loved Tivoli World theme park, though half the rides seemed to be having a siesta when we visited."
