Ronda - Lara Museum

In the ancient town of Ronda is the very interesting Lara Museum. Situated in a former palace where some members of the Spanish royal family stayed when they visited Ronda. The museum is split into various rooms each with its own theme. Some of the themes being music, knives, bullfighting and the very spooky witchcraft collection, but the most sickening part of the museum is the torture chamber, on show here you'll find implements of torture used during the Spanish Inquisition.

Benalmadena - Paloma Park

Not far from the beach front in the Costa del Sol resort of Benalmadena is Paloma Park. In the park is variety of birds, such as ducks and geese which have all made the large lake their home. Also to be seen walking freely about are hens and cockerels of all shapes and sizes as you walk round the park. Some even make their way through the park gates and are often seen walking up and down the pavements!
There is no charge for entrance to the park, and it makes a nice change to sit and relax away from the crowded beach in summer.
