Benalmadena Seafood Festival

There are few places better to visit at this time of year than the province of Malaga and the Costa del Sol. Normally bustling with tourists during the summer months, in spring the beautiful resort of Benalmadena is the ideal destination for families, couples and friends to relax this April and try out holiday treats like the delicious local cuisine that is synonymous with southern Spain. With the arrival of Spring comes a whole host of activities and things to do and see, including outdoor events like the Seafood festival in Benalmadena, all of which you can enjoy on your holiday in Malaga with MAC Hotels.

As previously mentioned Southern Spain is well known for its delicious cuisine and one such speciality that has a rich tradition in Malaga is the seafood, which is why each year Benalmadena hosts a wonderful seafood festival where you will find delicious dishes at a great price, live music and a party atmosphere. This year the festival will celebrate its 9th year and it will take place from the 28th of April until the 1st of May. Last year’s festival attracted more than 35,000 visitors, all hoping to get their hands on the freshest local dishes, such as sardines, grilled prawns and fresh cod, which have all been locally sourced and are of the highest quality. So why not join the party atmosphere and taste the essence of Spain’s Costa del Sol? Try something new this April!

An unusual competition will also provide visitors with some quirky entertainment as the stalls compete against each other for the prestigious award for “best display” meaning you will witness creative displays of seafood like you have never seen before. Who’d have thought that fish could rival art? Although the food takes centre stage, there are a number of delicious drinks to tempt your taste buds including a selection of local wines that compliment the seafood dishes to perfection, so don’t leave without trying some of the wonderful wines from Andalucia. You may need to make room in your case for your favourites. A few sips will bring back the memories of delicious seafood, spring sunshine and a place alive with holiday magic.

The Benalmadena seafood festival takes place in the charming port area, which always has a lively atmosphere and even more so during this bustling event. Located a matter of minutes from the port you will find the MAC Puerto Marina Hotel, which is our 4-star hotel, that boasts a wide range of services and facilities and the prime location of being just a few metres from Fuente de la salud beach and within 15 minutes drive of three of Benalmadena’s best beaches; Playa Carvajal, Playa de Arroyo and playa Bil-Bil, all of which are perfect for enjoying one or more of the 300+ days of sunshine each year. So book your holiday today with MAC Hotels and start enjoying Spring to the fullest.
