CABLE CAR
Ride 769 metres above sea level. Feast
your eyes upon the most breathtaking panoramas imaginable.
Experience just as they fly across the skies.
A trip through the clouds. The Costa del Sol cable car
will take us from Arroyo de la Miel, at the heart of
Benalmadena, to the very gates of the sky.
At the peak of the Mount Calamorro, our ultimate destination
on the incredible 15 minutes journey, a whole host of
the most varied activities await us.
In a miniature bullring, the Andalusian horse shows
of its equestrian art, skilfully guided by the hands
of its rider, an expert in country dressage.
As we alight, a most unusual mode of transport will
be waiting to take us on the Homage Route: a donkey
taxi, tribute to Manolo the donkey and Luisa the mule,
the beasts of burden that helped to install the cable
car by carrying materials across the mountains.
If Shanks’ pony is more to your liking, there
are a multitude of paths in which to lose yourself in
an open air adventure which will spring the occasional
surprise along the way, such as the sudden appearance
of an eagle, falcon or vulture. But fear not, for these
creatures are part of a supervised exhibition of birds
of prey that thrills spectators each day. The occasional
owl chick will greet the curios visitor with its round,
orange eyes. Meanwhile, a kite will jump from one head
to another to take a morsel of food from our hand with
its sharp claws in full flight without causing us so
much as a scratch, a most exhilaration spectacle.
After such an intensive day, drink or snack in the restaurant
area is a must, as is a photo to capture the moments
and landscapes enjoyed from this privileged position
of the window in the sky.
