The Benalmádena Stupa is a striking white Buddhist monument perched on a hilltop, offering panoramic views of the Costa del Sol. Built as a symbol of peace, it serves as a meditation and retreat center. Visitors can walk around the stupa, spin prayer wheels, and enjoy the tranquil gardens. The site includes a small museum on Buddhism and a café. Its serene atmosphere and cultural significance make it a peaceful escape from the coast's bustle.
