Colomares Castle and Mijas mystical tour in Andalusia

Trade the beach for a morning of Andalusian history, culture and beauty on this half-day tour. You'll begin in Benalmadena with a visit to Colomares Castle. This fairytale-like landmark was built between 1987 and 1994 to honour Christopher Columbus and the discovery of America. With its blend of Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic and Mudejar architectural styles, it's a real scene stealer and a dream spot for photos. It also houses the world's smallest church, as recognised by the Guinness Book of Records.Next up, you'll head to the Stupa of Enlightenment, a Buddhist monument that stands as a symbol of peace, prosperity and harmony. At 33 meters high, it's the largest in the Western world and a peaceful place to pause and take in the views of the Costa del Sol coastline before the final leg of the tour.To wrap up, you'll explore the whitewashed Andalusian town of Mijas. You'll have free time to wander about, poke around the shops or relax at a café with coffee and churros – a deep-fried Andalusian treat. Highlights here include the chapel in the rocks, donkey taxis, a chocolate factory and a few small museums. After this, you'll regroup and return to your accommodation.
