Benalmadena
Benalmadena is one of the Costa del Sol's newest
and fastest growing resorts and is now the area's
second most popular tourist destination after Torremolinos.
The area is centred around two main parts which are
within a short distance of each other: the village
and Arroyo de la Miel set up in the mountain and Benalmadena
Costa on the coast. The village is the administrative
centre for the area and has preserved its traditional
quiet character, although there are many new developments
around it. Services in Benalmadena are excellent and
there are numerous amenities, including excellent
sport facilities. An indoor pool and ice-skating rink
are currently under construction.
Location
Situated between Torremolinos and Málaga, Benalmadena
constitutes one of the most important population centres
of the Costa del Sol, reaching at peak summer season
a population of over 60,000. There exists three urban
centres which confer a special identity to Benalmádena:
On the mountain, is Benalmádena- Pueblo, origin
and head of the town that, even today, maintains the
peaceful and serene character of Andalucian mountain
towns.
Restaurants
The wide variety of gastronomic offers of bars and
restaurants and its aspect of Andalucian mountain
town, with white- washed houses completely filled
with flowers, makes it into an attractive destination
for the visitor. Nearer the coast is situated Arroyo
de la Miel, real commercial and business centre which,
with an unstoppable growth, constitutes one of the
most vigorous zones in the area. Lastly, adjacent
to the seaside and centred around an extensive promenade,
is Benalmádena- Costa, its gastronomical offer
is wide and varied and is essentially based on fish,
in whichever of its varieties: "espetos",
fried or grilled, accompanied by a good salad or a
good, fresh, cold vegetable soup. Furthermore, all
along the town, there is an infinity of restaurants
with a wide variety of regional specialities.

Property
Benalmadena has seen some of the most intense construction
on the coast over the last few years, and judging
by the number of cranes, there's no sign of
this slowing down for the moment. New developments
are numerous, particularly in Arroyo de la Miel and
on the outskirts of the village.
