The Costa del Sol region

One of the most popular holiday destinations for tourists and residents is the coast of Andalucia known as the Costa del Sol (Coast of the Sun) and in particular, the area that runs from Nerja to Gibraltar.

Malaga is more or less in the centre of the Costa Del Sol, dividing it into the Eastern Costa del Sol and the Western Costa del Sol.

The Costa del Sol stretches along just over 160 kilometres of Málaga province and the resorts on the western side of the costa are generally the most popular and have something to offer everyone!

The coastal resorts of Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Benalmadena and Marbella are amongst the most popular, offering every amenity and facility available and a fantastic Mediterranean climate – with good weather all year round.

Approximately 19km from Malaga within Andalucia, lies the principality of Benalmadena which consists of three main areas. Benalmadena Pueblo (village), Arroyo de la Miel and Benalmadena Costa.

This newly acquired, recently decorated and furnished apartment can be found on the Arenel Golf Complex – which is in the vicinity of the Benalmadena Pueblo area.

The Benalmadena / Benalmadena Pueblo area

Benalmadena is made up of three main areas: Benalmadena Pueblo, Benalmadena Costa and Arroyo de la Miel.

Benalmadena Pueblo is the original old town settled in the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas at about 5 kilometers inland. The town is a typical Andalucian style white-washed village with narrow streets and superb views of the coastline. There are a wide range of attractions in this area, which includes a museum, a picturesque church, gardens and an interesting castle (Colomares Castle) which is also a sanctuary for birds and tropical animals!


Local Cultural festivals include....

Easter Week, live presentation of the Passion of Christ in the Pueblo
February 28th - Andalucia Day (everything Spanish closed)
24th-29th June. Arroyo de la Miel celebrates John the Baptist with a local fair
Mid-August, Virgin of the Cross festivities with a fair in the Pueblo
July 16th, evening boat procession on the Costa for Veladilla del Carmen

Benalmadena Costa has 9km of shoreline with beautiful beaches and tiny coves and a fully equipped Marina for over 1,000 vessels. The marina is surrounded by apartments, shops, restaurants, boutiques and the Sea-Life aquarium. It also offers sports such as diving and sailing. The marina boasts many international awards for design and functionality.

Close to the Marina, visitors will find a 24-hour square with a numerous nightclubs, discos and a cinema, which makes it a popular area for the young.

Benalmadena Costa also has its own casino, night club and golf course. There is a garden of over 200,000 square metres, overlooking the sea - The La Paloma Park has a large lake with landscaped gardens, wildlife and a mini zoo.

Opposite the park is the Selwo marine park with its Dolphin and Sea-lion displays. As you head further west along the coast beyond the Torrequebrada Casino, the resort area becomes quieter and you will find smaller, less crowded beaches.

There is also a historic Plaza de Toros (bullring) as well as 15-20 golf courses all within a 20 minute drive. If you fancy it you could take a trip to Gibraltar or Marbella and wander round the designer shops in Puerto Banus.

*******************************************Benalmadena Marina************************************************
No trip to Benalmadena would be complete without a visit to its world famous marina, often referred to as Puerto Marina. Designed by the architect Eduardo Oria it first opened its doors in 1982, after taking nearly 10 years to complete. The concept was to bring the marina into the town; this was achieved by the creation of several islands, hosting both residential & commercial structures.

The architecture of these surrounding buildings is a fusion of Indian, Arabic, & Andalusian styles which (perhaps surprisingly) works incredibly well. Car parking is well hidden with adequate capacity, leafy gardens & mosaics dot its fringes; all this adding to the marina's individual feel & presence.

Since its inauguration the marina has been awarded the "Best Marina in the World" title on two occasions. In addition its waters boast the European Blue Flag for cleanliness.

The funicular railway in Benalmádena is today a must both for residents and visitors, who will climb uphill Monte Calamorro for a moderate fee.

Once on the summit, you will enjoy a panoramic view of Costa del Sol, Sierra Nevada, Valle del Guadalhorce and, on sunny days, Gibraltar and the African coast.

The funicular cars carries 4 passengers, who will take near 15 minutes to climb up the hill. On reaching the peak, you can walk along the clearly signposted paths that lead to Cima Calamorro, Sur and Oeste viewpoints.
You can also choose to watch birds of prey hovering over the area, ride on tame donkeys, or attend a horse breaking-in show, among other appealing activities. For those who just want to sit and have a drink, there is a nice cafeteria.

****Playa Santa Ana / Santa Ana Beach****

Playa Santa Ana is certainly not the largest beach in Benalmadena (at 500 metres long), but it is one of the most popular, primarily due to location.

“Good apartment and well kept, we always have had a good time” Would recommend a car, we have stayed here many times ( that in itself is a strong recommendation! ) and there has never been a problem, it has heating and aircon which makes it very comfortable and it has Sat TV which is great, the owners are nice to book through along with the lady that gives you the key on arrival. Wouldnt want to stay anywhere else when in this region 10 out of 10.
