Check the opening times before you go

We walked from the butterfly park to the castle which took around 30 mins to find it was closed.Not wanting to hang around for an hour before it re opened we carried on walking down the hill to the main road which took another hour.

Hello, You can use the bus 103 number and it will stop you at the old town of Benalmádena. From there is a one mile walk to the castle. Take note about the castles time hours. Castillomonumentocolomares. com Kind regards.
