# Guided tour of Castillo Colomares

**Guidekin's take:** A 40m 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 (table below).

## Overview

The Colomares Castle is a unique monument on the Costa del Sol. Built at the end of the 20th century, here we are told the story of Christopher Columbus' first trip to America.
In this tour we help you to read this magnificent book made in stone and to decipher all the symbols found here.
