Thursday 14th July – Excursion to Colomares Castle , Fuengirola & Botanical garden Molina de Inca . We are looking forward to you joining us to see the largest monument in the world in the form of a castle , dedicated to the life and adventures of Christopher Columbus It was built near Benalmádena between 1987 and 1994 by Dr . D . Esteban Martín it began in an improvised way and with the help of two masons using brick , stone and cement . Thanks to his knowledge of art , history and architecture , Dr . Martín was able to meld this work at his whim , turning it into a " unicum " due to the stony way of narrating the Discovery of America . You will arrive at the castle at approximately 10.15 , there will be a short introductory talk , after which you will have one and a half hours to stroll round the site . At 11.45 you will leave by coach for the short drive to Fuengirola where there will be free time for shopping and lunch , after which at 15.30 you will rejoin the coach and drive to the Botanical garden Molina de Inca . There will be free time to stroll through the tranquil botanical garden with an old flour mill , now a museum , plus a Japanese garden and aviaries . You will leave at 17.00 for the return journey , arriving in Torre del Mar at approx . 18.00 . Ticket price : € 25 and € 23 with a Friend of Lux Mundi card .
