Property for sale in Benalmádena.
Between Torremolinos and Fuengirola, with a large marina, long beaches, a train to the airport and a big community from the UK that lives here all year.
What Benalmádena is like.
Benalmádena is three places in one. Benalmádena Pueblo is the white village on the hill with the views and the quiet squares. Arroyo de la Miel is the working town in the middle, with the train station, the shops and most of the year-round life. Benalmádena Costa is the seafront, with Puerto Marina, the promenade and the beach bars.
It is one of the easiest places on the coast to live in without a car, because the train links Arroyo, Torremuelle and Carvajal to the airport and Málaga, and buses run along the seafront. There has been a British community here for decades, so English-speaking doctors, dentists, clubs and tradespeople are easy to find.
