Can anyone tell me about Ben Havis?

We are looking to move to the Ben Havis area, don't seem to know too much about the area so if anyone has any feedback, would be most appreciated, thanks

Think you mean Benahavis if so assuming you haven't read the A.com info http://www.andalucia.com/province/malag ... s/home.htm

Also although rather a bit out of date a blog with some info http://benahavisguide.blogspot.com/

We used to holiday there a lot, and really enjoyed it. Then they started building, and building.... You know the rest! Not sure how many they have built but a few years ago it was planned to build 70,000 more homes in the area I think it was. For me, what was once a pleasant little village, full of restaurants, has gone the way of so many other places in southern Spain. So despite having friends there, we have never been back, they have completely ruined it. But if you don't know it as it was, you won't have seen the ruining of the place, and perhaps you might find it very pleasant. I have to say, I would never move to a place I have never even seen. There's a lot worse places, but we won't be in a hurry to rush back.

quaint little village a while back but now developed to treble the size, good restaurants , tidy village, expensive . but very pretty. if you want similar but cheaper go east of malaga and 10 to 20 mins inland
