Benalmadena Pueblo Spain Charming Town Summer 2024 in August & Colomares Castle Tour | Málaga [4K]

Founded in the 8th century, Benalmádena Pueblo is the jewel in the crown of Benalmádena. It has retain its original white washed buildings and is a real taste of yesterday's Spain. The views are stunning making it a place worth-visiting. The name Ben-Al-Madina which translates to "Sons of the mine" was an iron ore mining village hence the name.

Now it is a quiet village that has not felt the full impact of tourism, which makes this place special. At the center is Plaza de España, a very beautiful square surrounded by orange trees. In the center is a statue of "La Niña" who has become the symbol of the village sculpted by Jaime Pimentel.

The Iglesia de Santo Domingo de Guzmán is stunning and worth-visiting. The gardens around the church are just as impressive and the views are breathtaking. The one thing you cannot fail to miss is the amount of colourful flowers everywhere it really brings the village to life. There is a museum which houses a collection of Pre-Columbian artifacts from South America and local remains before the Romans arrived.

Castillo de Colomares is a monument, in the form of a castle, dedicated to the life and adventures of Christopher Columbus. It was built near Benalmádena, between 1987 and 1994. Covering an area of 1,500 meters, it is the largest monument in the world dedicated to the explorer, but also contains the smallest church in the world, covering an area of just 1.96 square meters.

In 1987, Dr. D. Esteban Martín Martín began this singular work in an improvised way and with the help of two masons he created Colomares in seven years of artisanal work using brick, stone and cement. Thanks to his knowledge of art, history and architecture, Dr. Martín was able to mold this work at his whim, turning it into a "unicum" due to the stony way of narrating the Discovery of America.
