Guidekin's take

A 40 min guided visit to Castillo Colomares in Benalmadena, the eccentric monument to Columbus built in the nineteen eighties, for €9 per person with entrance included.

A curiosity rather than a landmark, and honest about being one; pairs well with a Benalmadena beach day.

In our comparison: #5 of 5 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
