General information on Benalmádena Pueblo
Benalmádena is the second closest major resort
to Malaga Airport and is neighbour to Torremolinos.
This is another very popular town for British
tourists and has three areas to it.
Most people have heard of the buzzing resort of Benalmadena, but holidays in Benalmadena Pueblo are a different kettle of fish. Hiding behind the glitz and glamour of the Costa Del Sol's liveliest stretch of seaside, this hillside village is all about cute, white-washed houses, flower decked balconies, windy little streets and shed loads of Andalucian charm. In fact, what holidays in Benalmadena give you is the best of both worlds: a little slice of traditional Spain with easy access to the lively 'costa' lifestyle whenever you want it.
If there's a down side to choosing a Benalmadena Pueblo holiday, it's limited choice in the accommodation department. The pueblo's unspoilt charm means it's not the sort of place that knocks out the late deals or bargain holidays you might find in nearby Torremolinos. However, if you're looking for that romantic hideaway just made for two, there's the Hotel La Fonda, a small, rustic property in the hub of the village. Or for that 'home from home' feeling, there's Villa Roma, a comfortable private villa with its own pool.Life in Benalmadena ambles along at a somewhat slower pace than it does in the village's seaside neighbours. The favourite pastime is taking a slow stroll around the village and soaking up the Andalucian atmosphere. Followed, of course, by a glass of cerveza or a chilled sherry and a plate of tapas in one of the friendly local bars.
