Benalmadena port by moonlight
Hotels | Accommodation | Property | Property Management | Car Hire
Covering an area of almost 30Km², and with an official
30,000 inhabitants, Benalmadena is just 19 kilometers from Malaga
Airport. It's easy to reach from both Malaga capital and International
Airport by road, train or bus and its privileged position looking
out onto the Mediterranean Sea, it is little wonder that it has
grown so rapidly in size over the last 20 years and become so popular
- especially with the British. It is always lively, but the busiest
time of year is during the hot summer months, when holidaymakers
swell the population by more than triple - up to 100,000 people.
 This area offers an easy lifestyle and a comfortable
climate (minimum temperatures of 5º and a summer maximum of
35º) with the light sea breezes. Many thousands of British
families have bought holiday homes and a large number of them have
settled down permanently to live the life of their dreams.
Benalmadena is split into three distinct areas:
Benalmádena Pueblo
(The old village)
Despite the influx of foreigners, the Pueblo has
managed to maintain a certain degree of decorum in the midst of
the massive amounts of building works and construction developments
that now surround it, where not so long ago it was rough countryside
Arroyo de la Miel
The busy commercial town centre separating the village
on the hill from the sea front. Arroyo has grown rapidly, due greatly
to the excellent train service running between Fuengirola and Malaga,
as well as good road connection.
Benalmádena Costa
The coastal area with many
hotels, beaches and the award winning Marina,
with excellent port facilities, fantastic nightlife and the fabulous
Aquarium.
With the huge number of resident and visiting foreign
Tourists to Benalmadena and the Costa del Sol in general, the variety
of types of restaurants is enormous.
There are many English, Scottish and Irish pubs, most of which have
live big screen sporting events. You have the choice of all nationality
restaurants, including, Chinese, Italian, Dutch, Lebanese, etc.
There are also plenty opportunities to try out the local dishes
and the best place to go is along the beach or to the Marina and
visit a "Chiringuito" (Beach Bar) where fresh
fish dishes are served up with a wonderful chilled wine or a refreshing
glass of sangria.
One of the best places on the Costa del Sol for
nightlife is Benalmadena, with so many different types of bars,
clubs, restaurants that there is always something to suit all tastes.
From the latest Clubland sounds with top D.J.'s to swish sophistication
and the live jazz, or salsa dancing till dawn, the Marina Port has
it all.
At the crossroads before going down to the Port,
is the Solimar Plaza, where there are more pubs
and clubs for the night owls, as well as a recently built commercial
centre with 8 cinemas to choose from.
In Benalmadena there are plenty of things to see
as well as enjoying entertaining family days out to places like
the theme park, Tivoli World, the fabulous Jardin
de Las Aguilas (Garden of Eagles), see the penguins and
dolphins at Selwo Marina and Sea Life or take a
ride in the Cable Car to see breathtaking views of the coast.
All along the promenade, which stretches from the
Bil Bil Castle to the Marina, you will see
an amazing variety of mosaics done by different artists. The styles
and materials differ greatly, with some artists using a ceramic
finish, while others have opted for metal, wood or natural stone.
The overall impression of this outdoor 'exhibition' is the result
of the Plan of Local Art Development, which has encouraged local
artists to add beauty to the area by exhibiting their art in this
way.
The promenade is one of the smartest of the Costa
del Sol and plans are afoot to extend it further. It presently covers
several kilometres and stretches across the Benalmadena area with
the relaxing tranquillity of sand and sea on one side and the bustling
commercial hubbub of activity on the other. There are many bars
and restaurants all along the sea front, where you can enjoy a pleasant
time looking out across the Mediterranean or watching the world
go by.
