A fresh tourist attraction has opened up in Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol and has turned out a outstanding winner, a Butterfly Farm. The Butterfly farm is the largest one of its sort in Europe and is a perfect alternative for a day out with the family.
Currently the 1,500 m2 park is crafted with an Asiatic pattern which happens to be very more appropriate to its location ; near the Westerns Worlds largest Buddhist Stupa, situated on the fringes of Benalmadena. Inside the park one can cast around freely noting the behaviour of about 1,500 butterflies from all over the globe of more than 150 dissimilar species. If you've gotten rented a holiday home in Benalmadena then you should not miss the opportunity to see the Butterfly Farm.

Throughout in the park you won't only see the butterflies flying around you, but you will also have the possiblity to observe their life cycle and evolution ; from eggs to caterpillars and finally when they spread their wings first ; the birth of the butterflies.

In order for these fragile species to exist the Butterfly farm has adjusted the real home ground of the butterflies meaning that inside the park the temperatures are around 24-28 degrees with 80 % humidness.

Definitely one of many peculiar facts that one will learn at the Butterfly Farm is that the average life span of a butterfly in the wild is only of just about 7 days! Nonetheless within captivity the butterflies can live up to 2 3 weeks. Some species, like the Zebra, can live up to 10 months!.


The Butterfly Park Benalmdena is over 2,000 m2, the largest climate operated space consecrated to butterflies, in Europe. The construction was built in butterfly thailand style what has been another difficulty to the underlying complexness of the undertaking. To give the construction legitimacy many building materials and cosmetic elements were brought directly from Kingdom of Thailand. The blue roofing tiles spreading over the pagoda hall were made in that color expressly in Chiang Mai for the butterfly, and is the original tile that is traditionally used in the temples of Thailand.
