Mount Calamorro is one of those incredible natural landscapes in Andalusia that will leave you speechless. The summit, at an altitude of almost 800 metres above sea level, is the highest point in Benalmádena and the perfect spot from which to take in the incredible panoramic views of the Málaga coast and, on clear days, the Sierra Nevada, the Rock of Gibraltar and even the African coast.
In any case, the cable car ride up is an experience in its own right, offering you a unique sensation on the Costa del Sol’s only cable car.
The departure station is situated right in the centre of Arroyo de la Miel (Benalmádena). Once you board the cabins, you’ll embark on a 15-minute journey covering a distance of almost 3 kilometres, during which you’ll enjoy unique views of the Costa del Sol.
At the start, you’ll fly over the iconic Tivoli World amusement park and catch a glimpse of two of Benalmádena’s three main towns: Arroyo de la Miel and Benalmádena Costa. As you ascend, you’ll be treated to a panoramic view of the Málaga coastline, which forms a unique landscape where the blue of the sea blends into the sky. On the other side, the slopes of Mount Calamorro showcase the botanical richness of the Mediterranean, with species of great ecological interest such as the zahareña, rockrose and thyme.
The route ends at the summit station, 720 metres above sea level, where a new adventure begins as you explore the panoramic viewpoints, discover the native flora and fauna at every step, or enjoy the birds of prey display by the Valle de las Águilas Foundation. A day packed with excitement!
The cable car has been in operation since 3 March 2000, linking the centre of Benalmádena with its highest point, the summit of Mount Calamorro. Here are some of the key details!
