Benalmadena is a popular resort town situated between Malaga & Torremolinos, divided into 3 parts: Benalmadena Pueblo, Benalmadena Costa & Arroyo de la Miel. Benalmadena Pueblo remain a typical Andalusian village positioned at the foothills of the mountains & slightly set back from the sea shores. The pueblo has been inhabited by the Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians & Carthaginians to name a few. 

Benalmadena Costa has a more family appeal. This is where the majority of the tourists stay as it as close to the beaches. Here you will find the restaurants, tapas bars & chiringuitos. Along the Puerto Marina, the newest part of town there are many night clubs and bars here aimed at the younger crowd. Benalmadena has more than 8km of blue flag beaches.  The sand is well maintained to ensure its cleanliness.  There are sun loungers & shades available for rent all the way along the front. From Benalmadena marina you can walk all the way along a flat promenade to Torremolinos with plenty of little bars & restaurants on the way for refreshments. Look out for the ancient Moorish watchtowers.  Alternatively you can walk in the other direction along the promenade to the western edge of the resort.
