Is Castillo de Colomares worth visiting? ⁣
⁣
Absolutely, yes! 😎✨⁣
⁣
Tucked away in Benalmádena, this fairytale-like monument looks like it’s been plucked straight out of a storybook. Built in honor of Christopher Columbus, the castle is a mix of Gothic, Romanesque, Byzantine, and Mudejar styles—all blending together into one jaw-dropping masterpiece.⁣
⁣
It’s not just about history, though. Every corner is a photo op, from intricate stone details to dreamy turrets that feel like a set from a fantasy film. Add sweeping sea views, and you’ve got the perfect mix of culture, romance, and magic.⁣
⁣
So, if you’re looking for a unique and photogenic spot in Costa del Sol, Castillo de Colomares is a must.⁣
