Boasting Andalucia’s largest (and award winning) marina, with 1,000 moorings, along with an average yearly temperature of 22°C. It’s a great idea to have a wander around in the glorious sunshine. You can stop to admire the range of boats and grab a nice drink or bite to eat in one of the many restaurants!
Benalmadena has recently undergone a massive regeneration. You wouldn’t ever be bored here with two theme parks, mini-golf, a sea-life centre, a cable car – and for the nature lovers – a beautiful park running along the Costa del Sol. The town is also home to some lovely beaches. Well maintained and with gentle coves, the coast and the inviting Mediterranean sea attracts expats and holiday makers alike.
Those wanting to avoid the hustle and bustle have the option to live just a couple of minutes inland, around the lovely town of Arroyo de la Miel or Benalmadena Pueblo, where the Spanish way of life is more popular than the down at the seafront.
For those who want more of a ‘town’ lifestyle, Arroyo de la Miel is just that. Situated further up the hill and maybe a 20 minute walk from the coast, this is a traditional Spanish town where libraries, schools, shops and bars are all at hand.
Benalmádena Pueblo is a traditional looking Andalucía village, it is further up the hillside and away from the other two areas of Benalmádena, therefore it offers a different sort of lifestyle. For those looking to integrate themselves into village life this would be ideal, as the small town offers all the shops and amenities that you may need, wonderful views, and a true community feel.
