Benalmadena, a municipality in the province of Málaga, has been a favourite holiday destination for many decades and now it is also becoming one of the most desirable areas to buy a family home or to purchase a perfect holiday home.
Benalmadena started life as a small Spanish village, which has grown rapidly into a large town and is now divided into two main parts, Benalmadena Costa and Benalmadena Pueblo. What mostly attracts its overseas visitors is, of course, the perfect sunny weather all year round and its sandy beaches. But if you think this is all Benalmaden has to offer, then you are mistaken. This Spanish coastal town has something for everyone.
Nature lovers
For those who love to be involved with nature Banalmadena is a perfect location. It combines two most important features of theh Costa del Sol; sea and the mountains. Benalmadena Costa is home to the most stunning beaches on The Costa del Sol, and you can choose between sandy and friendly beaches or if you are looking for some privacy you can set out to discover hidden rocky beaches that haven’t been touched by tourists and offer peace and tranquillity.
In the centre of Benalmadena Costa is the gorgeous and extensive Paloma Park, where you can hide from the warm summer sun and be one with nature.
Another of Benalmadena’s main nature attractions is the Calamorro Mountain. To get to the top you have to use a cable car and from the peak you can enjoy breath-taking views over the entire coast. There are also plenty of hiking routs at the summit as well as birds and horses.
