I did this on my own and what an experience in the cable car. First you soar over the town, then the villas with pools and then almost perpendicular up the mountainside. The views are stunning on a clear day and I was proud to recognise birds seen in Scotland while watching the excellent and entertaining falconry display. Collect a... More

We loved this gondola trip up the mountain over the roof tops and Tivoli world! didnt need to wait and fantastic views once at the top. There are further walks/climbs once you are up too, quite steep steps but I managed in flipflops. Also the birds of prey display only happens 2x day we just missed one but didnt want... More

Towards the end of our recent trip to Costa del Sol Spain, we decided to take a drive up the coast and do the cable cars near Malaga. It is an easy drive from our hotel in Estepona, and the signage is pretty easy to follow, even with all the traffic circles. The cable car is right next door to... More

I had no plans to ride the Telerifico cable car because I'm not particluarly fond of heights or closed "wobbly" spaces. However, we ended up at the cable car start point while on the tourist train around the town. I'm glad I took the 15 minute ride up to the Calamorro Mountain. I got to take in the most amazing...

As a person who has a terror of heights, when I got over the fear I really enjoyed the ride up the mountain. It took 15 minutes to get to the top. The cafe at the top was a little overpriced, the coke machine was extortionate at 2.80 E per drink. The views were spectacular, you could see for miles.... More

Really stunning views when you get up to the top but it is a steep climb up there in cable car so wouldn't do if you were afraid of heights. Once you get up to top theres a nice mountain walk but not really alot else so wouldn't benefit if had walking difficulties or buggies.

30 quid for 2 adults and 10 per child. Cable car ride was great. Bird show was ok. Don't whatever you do go up with a wheel chair or child buggy or similar. Views are amazing as long as there's no fog. Accident waiting to happen if you ask me!

You get on the Telefrico from Tivoli World at Arroyo de la Miel and it takes you up the mountain. At the top there is a cafe and lots of different birds in cages. They do a bird show at certain times. The only drawback is that when you come off the cable car the ground is very uneven. I... More

The cable car ride is good, the views & short walks at the top are great, but the bird display was awesome! I must admit I'm not a normally fan of falconry displays, but this one got 10 out of 10, they run at 1300 & 1700 (April, maybe check for monthly schedules).

The Teleferico Benalmadena is a modern cablecar that takes you on a smooth 15 minute journey from Tivoli Park to 800m above Benalmadena Costa. At the top there are breath taking views across the Costa del Sol and inland to the mountains, there are also very good falconry displays. There are a number of reasonably easy short walks to strategically... More
