点评:When I first visited the Benalmadena Marine some twenty-five years ago, there wasn’t much there. There was the marina of course, several slips full of pleasure and charter boats protected by a breakwater. There was also a few buildings, apartments and some stores and cafes. I do recall a coin laundry which I used as my hotel didn’t have one and a small super marker where I bought some snacks while my clothes were being washed.
What a difference I noticed on this recent trip. The Marina, or more correctly Puerto Marina Benalmadena is a massive built-up area that is an attraction all in it’s own right. The marina itself is still there and in addition to the privately owned boats there are numerous charter and rental companies offering vessels of varying sizes and price ranges offering fishing or dolphin spotting trips. There is even a regular ferry service to Fuengirola down the coast, as an alternate to the bus or train service.
Surrounding all of this is a massive built-up area of apartments, many of which I presume are available as short-term rentals. There is also shopping and entertainment complex. There are literally hundreds of shops and stores selling everything from cheap souvenirs to high end clothing and jewellery. There is even an enclosed mall with a grocery store.
Interspaced in all this are hundreds of pubs, cafes, bars, restaurants and nightclubs of every description. There is a children’s amusement park with rides and even a massive Ferris wheel, the Noria - Mirador Princess towering over everything and providing spectacular views of Benalmadena and Torremolinos. Puerto Marina Benalmadena is not just another attraction on this part of the Costa del Sol, but a destination in and of itself and one could easily spend a week or more here without wanting for anything or even being able to see it all.
翻译:大约二十五年前,我第一次造访贝纳尔马德纳码头时,那里空无一物。当然,那里只有一个码头,几处停满了游艇和包租船的泊位,防波堤保护着它们。此外,还有几栋建筑、公寓、一些商店和咖啡馆。我记得那里有一个投币式洗衣店,因为我住的酒店没有自助洗衣店,所以我用了。还有一个小型的超级标记,我可以在洗衣的时候顺便买些零食。
最近这次旅行,我注意到了巨大的变化。贝纳尔马德纳码头,或者更准确地说,贝纳尔马德纳港码头,是一个庞大的建筑区,本身就是一个景点。码头本身仍然存在,除了私人船只外,还有许多包租和租赁公司提供各种大小和价位的船只,提供钓鱼或海豚观赏之旅。甚至还有定期渡轮服务前往沿海的富恩吉罗拉,作为公共汽车或火车服务的替代方案。
周围环绕着一片巨大的公寓楼区,我猜想其中很多都可供短期租赁。这里还有购物和娱乐中心。数以百计的商店和店铺,从廉价的纪念品到高端的服装和珠宝,应有尽有。甚至还有一个带杂货店的封闭式购物中心。
这里分布着数百家形形色色的酒吧、咖啡馆、酒吧、餐厅和夜总会。这里有一个带游乐设施的儿童游乐园,甚至还有一个巨大的摩天轮——诺里亚-米拉多公主号,它高耸入云,可以俯瞰贝纳尔马德纳和托雷莫里诺斯的壮丽景色。贝纳尔马德纳港不仅仅是太阳海岸这片地区的一个景点,它本身就是一个目的地,人们可以轻松地在这里度过一周甚至更长时间,而不会感到任何渴望,甚至无法游览所有景点。
