Cynthia was amazing - enthused, full of information and a brilliant guide. The process was easy and my friend and I got a taxi up to the castle. The story of Christopher Colombia was incredibly interesting
Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. She gave us a lot of the history and made it interesting. Well worth the money.
Castillo de Colomares is a castle-shaped monument dedicated to the life and adventures of Christopher Columbus. Architecture of impressive beauty!
Well worth a visit. Interesting history, beautiful monument. We spent nearly 2 hours here. Our guide was well informed.
A wonderful experience. An extraordinary gem hidden away. Very informative guide with an excellent historic recap on the times of Christopher Columbus
Well worth a visit. We went early and found a spot to park without any hassle. English tour with Cintia at 1015. She was full of interesting knowledge about the monument and kept my 5 year old engaged too.
We passed this via taxi from airport and decided to visit whilst staying and we wasn’t disappointed. We got the 121 bus from the Puerto marina and the fare was €3.50 (€1.75 each) to the old town BENALMADENA PUEBLO had a look around the town and then a 20 minute walk to the castle ( downhill) when we got there it was €3 to get in or €2 if over 65. Views were loverly and the workmanship was excellent. We spent almost 2-3 hours there and there is a shop for food and drinks at reasonably prices. The chocolate a little step twice €2. Once done it takes longer to get back almost 45 minutes (up hill). Then you can get another bus to Mijas
Although I don't morally support the idea of Christopher discovering America,the place was a piece of art and a combination of puzzles that need solving.but our lovely bubbly lady guide Cynthia knew how to make the tour extremely interesting. And I appreciate the fact that a family from our group booked the wrong date but she was very understanding and welcome them in our group.it was a very interesting place to see.and the view from up top are amazing.the ivory for vultures is a nice bonus and being able to enjoy a can of Guinness while enjoying the views is a one off .
This is not a real castle. More of a monument. The tour was well guided and the girl did her best to make a very mediocre “castle” as interesting as possible. The snack bar was pretty cool, but this “castle” seemed more like a prop that you might see at a nice playground for children.
Interesting guided tour. We got information we wouldn’t have got on our own. The castle was quirky and very interesting.
If you are a history lover, be aware that Castillo de Colomares is a monument built in 1980s-1990s by an enthusiast doctor who wanted to pay a tribute to Christopher Columbus and his discoveries. Although a perfect background for social media-posted pictures, there is no real history in it and it has nothing to do with C. Columbus.
We spotted this from the top of the hill and decided to walk down. It cost 3 euros each to enter and spend time there. You can take some nice photos. They give you a qr code doc to use at each point to give you information. Take in the view. There is a cafe for refreshments.
The guide made it an interactive experience from start to finish. Along with such great knowledge of the subject matter.
No need to visit this. Was much smaller than expected. It was built in the 1990s. Thought it was more than what is was
Views and the building were amazing but ruined by the hundred of Instagrams who kept taken the same photo over and over and kept the rest waiting.
Brilliant, great guide, the guide was very knowledgeable. Timi g was spot on, very nice cafe there for after the tour. Highly recommend.
The details and history were equally fascinating. The most interesting surprise, the buildings/monument in chapters. Our guide was lovely, very helpful.
It was a really beautiful view!! Cynthia who was our tour guide was really informative and friendly and told us a lot about the history of each chapter of the castle! We got to learn a lot and it was really exciting!! Also Cynthia even offered to take pictures of us which was a really nice gesture from her!!
Second time in as few months to Benalmadena. Loved it, stayed at Las Arenas Hotel, spotless, food great, staff amazing and evening entertainment very good. Visited the cable cars, butterfly Park, Buddhist temple, Mayas twice and the lovely Marina twice. We have fallen in love with this place. So easy to get around by bus or train, weather fantastic, and plenty of pubs and beaches. The area around Las Arenas was flat, which suited our mobility needs.
We had had a great time! Our tour guid was very informative about the whole property. Definitely recommend!
The tour was excellent! Cintia did a great job explaining each chapter of the book Of stones in English. We were grateful we chose this tour and can’t recommend it enough!
Everything was super phenomenal, the guide was charming and very explanatory. Everything was very well explained, a very nice girl, I think her name is Cintia, I liked the visit a lot.
This is recommended. Perfect
Excellent explanation from the guide Cyntia. Perfectly documented and structured in her arguments. It was worth it
I loved it, beautiful. Lots of people and lots of calos.
It is a very curious place due to its ornamental composition. It has its history and is very interesting and recommended to visit.
Excellent guide. Funny and smooth. Even though I was half an hour late, she still took the trouble to walk with me afterwards!
Very prepared guide very nice highly recommend visit with guide to be able to appreciate the place more, in addition to the view there is also so much history Very good driving
Very nice location. Highly recommended. In the small coffee, there is good coffee . Being there before 10 am is recommended ,otherwise the parking is occupied . We loved it.
The guide was super interesting and funny. I learned a lot about Spain and its history 10/10
Formidable!Fantastic!! A smooth, pleasant, funny guide! Sublime, all-encompassing useful explanation of the site and their symbols. Instructive ❣️
Nice visit, easy access, very friendly staff the castle very peculiar, I recommend it to go with family or couple.
Very nice tour! The guide was very enthusiastic and funny! She spoke good English. The tour lasted just long enough given the heat.
Beautiful castle, beautiful architecture with story the tourguide could tell this story very nice and lively!
Very nice castle, to see if you pass nearby, 2€ since we were retired. Well maintained park👍souvenirs, postcards, drinks...
Very rewarding visit, the guide (Cintia) is very professional, very audible and attentive. You have to plan to park, the parking is small.
Great visit despite the strong heat! The guide was very patient and invested, the bar also offers delicious iced drinks!
La guía era súper agradable y nos explicó muy detalladamente, me encantó su forma de romper el hielo, estoy muy agradecida
Interesting and curious. Fun to spend some time and see something different. The story is very peculiar and curious It has relatively easy parking
The visit great, enjoyable and interesting. Cintia knew what she was talking about and very nice. What I didn't think was right is that knowing that the reservation was with 2 children, one of them 5 years old, also charge the guided tour, but otherwise I advise without hesitation.
L histoire de ce château raconter par la guide La guide a fait une tres belle présentation en prenant le temps de tout nous raconter en détail
This tour I recommend 100x100! Cynthia is one of the best tour guides I've ever had. (I am a fan of tours) I love learning things and curiosities from all the countries and cities I go to. Cynthia is very professional, we arrived 15 minutes early and she was already there waiting for us with all her intelligence and grace. 10 out of 10 would recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I had an amazing experience! From the very beginning, she was Pro, Friendly and very knowledgeable about local history and culture. She knew how to make the tour interesting and entertaining, and was always willing to answer any questions. A 10/10!
Wij hadden om een rondleiding in het Engels gevraagd. De spaanse vrouw die ons rondleidde, sprak met een scherp accent en was in het Engels moeilijk te verstaan. Zonde van deze rondleiding.
It was a great tour. In the hot temperatures, the overall time of the tour was optimal. Guide was very sympathetic. Super tour
Beautiful Castle located in Benalmadena, amazing story, told in chapters by our Cynthia Guide, super recommended. Learn the story of Columbus’ journey told in chapters in a castle... a unique experience.
I visited Colomares Castle. A place with a special charm, which will not leave the visitor indifferent. I traveled to the time of the discovery of America, knowing Christopher Columbus’ links with this incredible monument of Benalmadena. From here thank our guide Cynthia for her professionalism and know how to transmit in such a pleasant and fun way. Looking forward to sharing another route with her
When we arrived we were greeted by Cynthia a wonderful guide who explained us throughout the tour in a pleasant way and I understood all the stops of the Castle, we were delighted
The Castle is very interesting in maximum 3 hours you have already given it several turns is not very big. The architecture is very nice to go to the castle you must have your own transport as it is very far from the bus.
