Benalmadena

The journey continues to explore a variety of villages and cities on the Costa del Sol as possible winter destinations.  Today was no exception and we ventured by a short train trip to Benalmadena, Arrojo and Benalmadena Pueblo.  This is a far more developed area than those we've already visited but the advantage is being near a rail line for ease of access to the airport and cities between Malaga and Fuengerola.   We spent some time taking a cable car ride o a beautiful vista point and falconry which presented an amazing bird show with eagles. The views from the top are spectacular and we've had seven days of continuous sunshine. 

The afternoon was spent in the Pueblo, the original urban center for the city of Benalmadena. I really love these little villages with their historical tone centers. What distinguished this village from others is the presence of a Buddhist stupa on the edge of town.
