Located next to the Buddhist Stupa of Enlightenment<\/a> is the Butterfly Park in Benalmadena, a place where you can find different species of plants and about 1500 butterflies from different regions of the world.<\/p>\n

Although I recommend to visit it during spring, the Butterfly Park is open all year round. More than 150 different species of butterflies are available and breed in the park; visitors will be able to see how they emerge from the chrysalis and fly for the first time.<\/p>\n

You can also enjoy the wonderful views of the Mediterranean<\/a> from the Benalmadena viewpoint.<\/p>\n

I think it’s an ideal activity to share with children, but adults can also enjoy it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An activity that children will enjoy<\/h2>\n

Remember when you were a child and saw a butterfly for the first time?<\/strong> I do, I remember one of those days when I used to go with my family to the countryside on weekends. I would be 4 or 5 years old when I took one butterfly that dared to fly near me being a child; when I opened my hand I could see it staying on my palm. I asked my mother why the butterfly didn’t fly again, to which she replied: \u2014<\/strong> It is staying for you to see how beautiful its wings are, now you have to thank it by letting it go.<\/p>\n

I was amazed; my mother with the help of nature gave me some magical seconds that remained since then in my memory; the butterfly resumed the flight after a while and I followed it for a few moments, until my parents called me to continue the hiking. My first close encounter with a butterfly was in Monte Tortuga<\/a>, good memories from childhood.<\/p>\n

Travelling with children<\/a>? I think it’s an ideal activity to share with them, but adults can also enjoy the experience.<\/p>\n

There are different species from different areas of the world:
