Benalmadena

Benalmadena is one of the beautiful towns of the Costa del Sol, Spain, in the province of Malaga. It has around 7o.ooo permanent habitants and borders Torremolinos and Fuengirola.

Benalmadena’s centre (Arroyo de la Miel) is about 20 minutes away from the airport by train – or even less; it is easy to go from the center to the gorgeous sand beaches and hotels of Benalmadena’s coast or to Benalmadena Pueblo, a picturesque white village in the mountains. There are buses to both areas right out of Benalmadena-Arroyo de la Miel train station.

Benalmadena happens to be where I live, and for that reason, the town I know best and talk more about. Check what I have already discovered in my years living here and embracing lovely Benalmadena as my new home.
