Benalmadena

Benalmadena is a very popular area located 19km west of Malaga. It´s easy access to Malaga airport by train, road or bus, and stunning beaches make this a great tourist destination. In the summer months, the population can triple to over 100,000! There is a real mix of nationalities in Benalmadena, but it has still managed to maintain it´s authentic Andalucian culture in areas.

Benalmadena has gained a reputation as a party town - and it still is very popular amongst young people - but there are also some beautiful, more tranquil areas, that are well worth investigating if you are thinking of moving to the Costa del Sol. You will generally get excellent value for money in Benalmadena.

Benalmadena Pueblo

The name ´Benalmadena´originates from when the arabs founded the town in the eighth century - when translated it means ´Children of The Mines´. This was because ochre and iron ore were once mined locally.

Today, the area is a beautiful, tranquil, whitewashed village, with flowers that overspill from every balcony. Plaza Espana is the centre point of the village, where you will find the statue´La Nina´ who has become the symbol of Benalmadena. There are some lovely restaurants in this area, with orange trees lining the streets.

There are several points of interest, including the church of Santo Domingo, which affords stunning views of the whole coastline; and the famous Colomares Castle. Outside the village, you can find places of interest such as the Benalmadena Stupa - or Buddhist Temple, which was inaugurated in 2003, and is the largest of it´s kind in western Europe. The views of the coast from here are truly spectacular! The Mariposario (Butterfly Park) is also worth visiting, as it´s the largest butterfly park in Europe, containing nearly 1600 types of butterflies from all over the world.
