The Spanish resort of Benalmedena is only 11km from Malaga airport – making it a perfect destination for those without much time to waste. With 322 days of sunshine a year, good weather is almost guaranteed.
For more traditional Andalusian life and some local culture head for Benalmedena Pueblo village in the mountains which has steep narrow streets and whitewashed houses, a museum and a fascinating castle. You catch the cable car up from Arroyo de Miel which lies between the mountains and the coast. This is the business and residential centre and home to the world famous theme park Tivoli World. The Costa is the base for most tourist activities and as well as sandy beaches and water sports there is a fully equipped marina. A night club, a casino with 15 tables, golf course and plenty of bars and restaurants mean there is enough entertainment whatever your mood.
