🍷 Eating Our Way Around Benalmádena Pueblo – La Cepa

Last week, our Discover Benalmádena Pueblo series took us along Calle Real, one of the lovely whitewashed streets running through the historic centre.

And I promised we’d come back to one of my favourite places to stop along the way… La Cepa. ❤️

Right on Calle Real, La Cepa is a small, relaxed Spanish restaurant where tables spill out onto the street and you can settle in over lunch while village life carries on around you.

The menu is Spanish and Mediterranean, with plenty of dishes that are perfect for sharing. Look out for oxtail and black-rice croquettes, cod fritters, patatas bravas, carrillada cooked with Pedro Ximénez, presa ibérica, calamari and flamenquín filled with Serrano ham and cheese.

For me, though, much of La Cepa’s appeal is its simplicity.

If you’re following our self-guided walking tour of Benalmádena Pueblo, you don’t need to plan your whole day around eating here.

Reach Calle Real, find yourself feeling peckish and simply grab a table outside. Order a few tapas, stay for a leisurely lunch or just enjoy a cold drink while watching the world go by.

And perhaps leave room for dessert — the torrija gets some particularly enthusiastic mentions! 😋

❤️ Sarah Recommends
This is exactly the sort of spontaneous food stop I love when exploring an Andalusian village: relaxed, informal and right in the middle of the walking route.

📍 Calle Real, 4, Benalmádena Pueblo
🍽️ Spanish & Mediterranean
💶 Around €20–€30 per person
🌿 Outdoor seating
🥗 Vegetarian & gluten-free options available
📅 Closed Tuesdays

You can find La Cepa, Calle Real and the rest of the route in our complete Discover Benalmádena Pueblo guide on the website.

Have you eaten at La Cepa? And, more importantly, did you manage to save room for dessert? 😋👇

🏘️ Exploring Benalmádena Pueblo – Calle Real
Our wander through beautiful Benalmádena Pueblo continues…

Last time we explored the picture-perfect whitewashed houses and flower-filled balconies of Calle Marbella. Today, turn left at the top and join me on Calle Real, one of the oldest and most important streets in the Pueblo.

For centuries, Calle Real has been one of the main routes through the village, linking its squares with the church and upper historic quarter. Today, it’s still very much part of everyday Pueblo life.

Whitewashed buildings and wrought-iron balconies line the street, but this isn’t somewhere to hurry through.

Look a little closer and you’ll find independent boutiques, gift shops, cafés and small businesses tucked between the traditional Andalusian buildings. Decorative ceramic signs, pretty balconies and glimpses down tiny side streets provide plenty of excuses to stop for another photograph.

And that’s one of the things I love most about Benalmádena Pueblo.
The famous sights are beautiful, but sometimes it’s simply wandering the streets and noticing the little details that makes a visit so memorable.

❤️ Sarah Recommends
Feeling hungry?
La Cepa is one of my favourite places to stop along Calle Real. Its terrace is a lovely spot for a leisurely lunch, some traditional Spanish food or simply a cold drink while watching village life go by.

We’ll be taking a much closer look at La Cepa in our next Pueblo post. 🍷🍴

🥾 Walk the whole route
Calle Real is just one stop on our complete Discover Benalmádena Pueblo self-guided walking tour.

🍽️ Somewhere Special in Benalmádena Pueblo – Restaurante La Mar Chica

If our wander along Calle Marbella tempted you to explore Benalmádena Pueblo, here’s another very good reason to return… ❤️

Hidden away at the lower end of the street, Restaurante La Mar Chica is a tiny fine-dining restaurant with just 22 places and eight tables.

Opened in 2019 by Dutch-Danish husband-and-wife team Dennis and Kikki Van Tintelen, it feels more like being invited into an elegant private home than visiting a traditional restaurant.

Chef Dennis draws on experience in Michelin-starred kitchens to create constantly changing tasting menus combining New Nordic, Spanish and Asian influences, using seasonal ingredients from the local coastline, countryside and mountains.

There’s no traditional à la carte menu. Instead, choose between four, five, six or seven courses, with beautifully presented dishes appearing one after another at a wonderfully unhurried pace.

🍷 You can add carefully selected Spanish wine pairings too — and I particularly like their clever driver’s wine pairing, with smaller measures for whoever has drawn the short straw and has to drive home!

❤️ Sarah Recommends
If I were choosing somewhere in Benalmádena Pueblo for a birthday, anniversary or simply a we’re on holiday and we deserve it evening, this would be my first choice.

It isn’t inexpensive by traditional Spanish standards, but for this level of cooking and personal service, I think it offers exceptional value.

📍 Calle Marbella, 1, Benalmádena Pueblo
🕖 Tuesday–Friday, 19:00–23:00
🚫 Closed Saturday, Sunday & Monday
📅 Only 22 places, so booking well ahead is essential
🥗 Vegetarian and gluten-free options available with advance notice

And if you’re following our new Discover Benalmádena Pueblo walking guide, you’ll pass La Mar Chica almost as soon as you reach Calle Marbella.

Perhaps make a mental note as you walk past… and come back dressed for dinner later! 🍷✨

🌸 Discover Benalmádena Pueblo – Calle Marbella
If you love the traditional white villages of Andalucía, put Calle Marbella on your list when you visit Benalmádena Pueblo.

This beautiful little street is everything you hope to find in a pueblo blanco — whitewashed houses, wrought-iron balconies, traditional wooden doors and colourful flower pots carefully tended by the people who live here.

It’s one of those streets where the best thing to do is simply slow down and look around. Look out for the hand-painted ceramic house numbers, tiny gardens and all the individual touches that make every home a little different.

Despite being one of the Pueblo’s most photogenic streets, it still feels very much like a residential neighbourhood rather than somewhere created for tourists — and I think that’s part of its charm.

📷 Sarah’s Tip: Stand towards the lower end of Calle Marbella and look uphill for one of the classic photographs of Benalmádena Pueblo.

Calle Marbella also happens to be the first stop on our new self-guided walking tour of Benalmádena Pueblo — which will be coming to the website very soon. 🥾

Have you explored the old Pueblo, or are you usually tempted to stay down by the coast?

🌿 Looking for one of Benalmádena Pueblo’s best brunch spots?

Tucked away in the heart of the village on Calle San Miguel, Querida Nieta is much more than a café. This wonderful female-owned independent business has become a favourite with locals and visitors alike thanks to its homemade food, organic ingredients and genuine commitment to sustainability.

Everything is prepared fresh each day using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.

From delicious quiches and Argentine empanadas to colourful Hippie Bowls, homemade cakes and exceptional 100% organic Arabica coffee, every dish is made with care.

Whether you’re stopping for breakfast, brunch or lunch, you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere, cosy shabby-chic interiors and a lovely terrace beneath the orange trees. There are also plenty of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options.

⭐ Rated 4.9/5 on Google
🕘 Opening hours:
Monday to Saturday: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Sunday: Closed
📍 Find it: Calle San Miguel, 1, Benalmádena Pueblo

💚 Sarah’s Tip: If you’re driving, park in the free car park on Calle Huelva. Querida Nieta is only a three-minute walk away, making it the perfect place to start your visit with breakfast or brunch. Just don’t leave it too late in the afternoon—they close at 4:00 pm, so it’s best enjoyed earlier in the day.

Have you visited Querida Nieta? We’d love to hear what your favourite dish or coffee was! ☕🥗🍰

12 Things to Do in Fuengirola – No.12 🏰
Visit Castillo Sohail
To finish our series sharing 12 of our favourite things to do in Fuengirola, No.12 takes you to one of the town’s most recognisable landmarks — Castillo Sohail.

Set on a hill at the mouth of the Fuengirola River, the castle is reached via the attractive riverside walk and suspension bridge. With sweeping views along the coastline and inland towards the Sierra de Mijas, it’s one of the best viewpoints on the Costa del Sol.

The hill has been occupied for centuries, first by the Phoenicians and Romans, before the fortress itself was built in the 10th century under Abd al-Rahman III. It was later reinforced by the Almoravids and captured by Christian forces in 1485. Today, the castle has been carefully restored and is open to visitors.
Inside, the castle is deliberately simple — stone walls, towers and an open courtyard rather than furnished rooms — as it was built for defence, not luxury. The real highlight is the atmosphere and the spectacular views, especially later in the day when the light softens over the Mediterranean.

Castillo Sohail also plays an important role as a cultural venue. Throughout the year it hosts events, markets and festivals and, each summer, provides the dramatic backdrop for the Marenostrum concert series.

Opening hours
• Monday: Closed
• Tuesday–Friday: 10:00–14:00
• Saturday, Sunday & public holidays: 10:00–14:00 and 15:00–18:00
(Admission is free. Opening hours may vary during events or bad weather.)

From Casa Christabel y Casa Annabel, you can reach the castle by train and a short walk, by bus, or by enjoying a scenic stroll along the Paseo Marítimo Rey de España, which takes just under two hours from the Carvajal end.

Whether you visit for the history, the panoramic views, a riverside walk or a summer concert, Castillo Sohail is a wonderful way to round off your stay in Fuengirola.

Thank you for following our “12 Things to Do in Fuengirola” series! 🌴

➡ No.11a – The Fuengirola River Walk
12 Things to Do in Fuengirola – No.11a
The Fuengirola River Walk 🌿

Following on from our post about Fuengirola’s parks, No.11a is a gentle and very accessible walk that links green spaces, the river and the coast — the Fuengirola River Walk.

This flat, paved riverside route begins at the mouth of the river beside Castillo Sohail and follows the Río Fuengirola inland. It’s one of the easiest and most enjoyable urban-nature walks in the area and is popular with walkers, runners, cyclists, families with prams and dog walkers.

One of the highlights at the start of the route is the hanging pedestrian bridge, which links the river path directly with the seafront promenade. From here, you can walk alongside the water, enjoying open views back towards the castle and the coast.

As you continue inland, the path passes through Parque Natural Fuengirola, a compact but well-equipped park with shaded areas, children’s play spaces, outdoor gym equipment and open grassy sections — a lovely place to pause or picnic.

The riverside path is fully paved, mostly level and easy to follow. You can turn back at any point, making the walk as short or as long as you like. Many people use it for a relaxed 1–3 km stroll, while others connect it to longer walking or cycling routes further inland.

What makes this walk so appealing is its flexibility. It works just as well for a quick breath of fresh air as it does for a longer wander, and it’s easy to combine with the promenade, Sohail Castle or one of the nearby parks.

From Casa Christabel y Casa Annabel, the river walk is easy to reach by train, bus or as part of a wider coastal stroll.

Have you walked along the Fuengirola River before, or do you prefer riverside walks to coastal ones?

12 Things to Do in Fuengirola – No.11
Relax in Fuengirola’s Best Parks 🌿

As part of our series sharing 12 of our favourite things to do in Fuengirola, No.11 is all about slowing the pace a little and enjoying some of the town’s most important green and open spaces.

Fuengirola has invested heavily in modern, well-designed parks, and several of them are genuinely worth visiting during your stay — whether you’re travelling with children, enjoy gentle walks, or just want a break from the beach.

One of the most popular is Parque de Poniente, located near the western end of the promenade. This nautical-themed park has a vibrant, coastal feel and is especially loved by families. Its iconic pirate-ship playground, skate and bike areas, wide flat paths and proximity to the beach make it one of the few parks in Fuengirola that feels like a real destination rather than just a neighbourhood green space. Cafés nearby make it easy to combine playtime with a relaxed drink or snack.

For something newer and more spacious, Parque de la Loma is Fuengirola’s largest and most modern park, opening in 2024. Covering almost 30,000 m², it’s designed as a multi-use leisure and sports space, with green areas, picnic spots, walking paths, climbing and sports facilities, cycling lanes and pet-friendly zones. It’s particularly popular with active guests, families with older children and anyone looking for a large open space close to town.

Closer to the river and Castillo Sohail, Parque Natural Fuengirola offers something quieter and more intimate. Set beside the river walkway, this compact park combines shaded paths, a children’s playground, outdoor gym equipment and open grassy areas. It’s a lovely place to pause during a riverside stroll or before heading up towards the castle.
What these parks have in common is accessibility. They’re flat, easy to navigate, suitable for prams and wheelchairs, and popular with locals as well as visitors. Each offers a slightly different atmosphere — lively and coastal, open and active, or calm and riverside — making it easy to choose the right one depending on your mood.

From Casa Christabel y Casa Annabel, all of these parks are easy to reach by train, bus or on foot as part of a wider wander.

Our thoughts today are with everyone affected by the devastating wildfire in Andalucía.

We send our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who have tragically lost their lives and we are thinking of all those who have been forced to leave their homes, have lost property or are facing such an uncertain time.

We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the brave firefighters, emergency services and volunteers who continue to work tirelessly in incredibly dangerous conditions to protect lives, homes and the beautiful landscapes of Andalucía.

To everyone affected, please know that you are in our thoughts. Stay safe. ❤️🇪🇸
