Andalucía offers less organised entertainment opportunities than other parts of Europe. However, the region provides much of its own entertainment: 600 kilometres of sandy beaches, huge, unspoiled natural areas and the simple pleasures of eating and drinking on sidewalk cafés or on the beach, just watching the world go by. Below we list a variety of themed attractions, trips, entertainments, associations and hobby pursuits.

Bioparc Fuengirola champions a new model of zoo based on respect for nature and the preservation of natural species, a model which has already established itself as a flagship for Europe.

What Bioparc Fuengirola represents is a different concept of zoo. A zoological park where animals live side-by-side, recreating their natural habitat and so fostering their development at all levels. Visitors are stepping inside a true documentary of the deepest tropical woodlands. Lowland Gorillas, Sumatran Tigers, Borneo Orangutans, Pygmy Hippopotamus or Malayan Tapirs are some of its inhabitants.
