Benalmadena’s delicious seafood fair is returning to Plaza Adolfo Suarez from Thursday, May 28 to Sunday, May 31, giving you the freshest seafood the Mediterranean and marina has to offer. Last year thousands of visitors passed through the Benalmadena fish event enjoying a huge variety of dishes straight from the sea.

Portions will start from as little as €7, which for that that is normally on the pricier side of things, this is an affordable way to sample freshly prepared seafood without ramped up restaurant prices. Visitors can feast on favourites such as succulent cooked prawns, light seafood salad, clams, razor clams, traditional paella and popular fideua, all served amongst the beautiful scenery of the waterfront.

Popular traditional dishes and stunning spring weather

Last year the seafood platters and rice dishes were the biggest hit for value for money, served in extra generous portions and prepared with delicious fresh local ingredients. The winning combination of good value, warm late‑spring weather and the marina backdrop brought families, residents, day-trippers all for a mooch and munch over the course of the day.

Musical entertainment, sea views and great value €1 parking

Live musical entertainment with feed the ears while you feast on the food. Plenty of outdoor seating available and for those people driving they can use the Pueblo Sol parking during the fair for just €1, making it a stress free travel option for anyone wanting to be close to the action.

Local and national brands both supporting the event

The fair is supported by a number of local businesses and many well‑known brands, with this year’s poster featuring collaborators including San Miguel, Coca‑Cola, Cumaca, and several local popular Benalmadena hospitality establishments.

The return of the well-loved Benalmadena seafood fair is from Thursday, May 28 to Sunday, May 31. For more information visit the Benalmadena town hall website.

Great news for those on the nautical scene, A refurbishment programme worth more than a whopping €3.6 million, has been approved for Benalmadena Marina to upgrade facilities and adapt the port to meet current nautical demands. Decisions were confirmed during a recent board meeting of the Puerto Deportivo, where several projects were authorised to improve much needed infrastructure and services.

Plans include a major overhaul of the nautical centre, to enable the marina to better serve professionals and visitors. Works are looking to modernise installations and go toward ensuring the building meets present-day operational requirements.

Infrastructure and safety upgrades included

Investment will also support improvements to the port’s electrical system, for a more energy efficient and reliable power supply across the marina. Officials approved tender documents for this work during the same meeting, reinforcing the port’s focus on functionality and safety.

Bigger security measures form another part of the plan, with brand new access control barriers set to regulate entry to port areas. These additions are hoping to strengthen monitoring and improve the overall management of the facilities.

Breakwater project to strengthen protection

Coastal defence is another area included in the project. A contract has been awarded to draft a project for containment and breakwater works near the port entrance. This initiative aims to protect the marina from adverse weather conditions and improve operational resilience.

Broader management and financial steps

Board discussions went onto construction plans, covering internal organisational matters and financial oversight. Preparation of the 2025 annual accounts and adjustments to accounting balances were also addressed, reflecting ongoing administrative management of the marina.

The Benalmadena Marina is one of the busiest, well loved and important on the Andalusian coast, because of its beautiful design and interior architecture, the number of berths and the wide range of leisure and entertainment options it offers.
