Malaga Blog: Activities

Do you already know the Butterfly Park in Benalmadena? For those who have not yet been there and those who want to repeat, there is a promotion of this special zoo during the months of February and March to enjoy more than 1,500 tropical butterflies flying freely in a glass surrounded garden; we can also see how they are born and learn about some of the world's most spectacular species.

The Butterfly Park is located in Benalmadena Pueblo, near the Buddhist Temple with great views over the Mediterranean. The site is beautifully designed in Thai style. In Asia, the butterfly symbolizes the soul and spirituality and China 4,000 years ago began raising butterflies for silk production.

These fragile tropical beauties require special conditions between 24 and 28° C and high humidity; since the butterflies fly freely, visitors move into their habitat, a new concept called Zooimersion.

Lovers of organic fruit and vegetables can enjoy this Saturday, January 28, the first organic market in the capital of the Costa del Sol, at Huelin Park. From 10 am to 2 pm we have the opportunity to purchase green products which are mostly from the Guadalhorce valley, Malaga´s green orchard.

At a total of 16 stands there will be offered fruits, vegetables, bread of different seeds, pastries, cheeses, oils and jams sold by farmers themselves, being 3% cheaper than non-organic foods distributed through traditional channels.

This type of organic market is a new approach to meet the demands of both responsible producers and consumers. For now there will be only two editions, as by now is being studied its feasibility, thus we hope the market will be attended by many people. The respective dates are January 28 and February 25.
