Benalmádena Carnival Parades

Benalmádena Arroyo de la Miel Parade 2026

Parade takes place on Saturday, February 14, 2026 at 5pm

Location: The parade starts at the Tivoli World parking lot and continues along the main roads including Avenida de la Estación and Avenida de la Constitución.

The Benalmádena parade in Arroyo de la Miel for Carnaval is one of my favourite annual events. I look forward to this parade every year. It’s another one of the huge benefits of visiting Benalmádena Spain in February or March. The costumes are incredible and the general feeling we have after watching it is that everyone looks like they’re having so much fun. It’s really a great time with lots of music, dancing, cute kids costumes and hilarious adults having fun. If you’re in Benalmádena at this time of year, I highly recommend you check out the Carnaval parades and other festivities.

Benalmádena Pueblo Parade 2026

I don’t think there is a parade this year in the Pueblo.

The parade in Benalmádena Pueblo usually takes place a week before the parade in Arroyo de la Miel. It’s the smaller of the two parades so if you can only go to one of them I recommend the parade in Arroyo de la Miel but spending time in the Pueblo is always enjoyable.

It can be hard to find information on these events so I’ll watch for them and update this page as soon as more information and exact dates are posted.
