We enjoyed a bus trip to the Pueblo and a walk around the old parts of the village. There is a lovely view down to the coast. I think it would worth while basing ourselves here on our next trip to the Costa Del Sol

We stayed in Benalmadena Pueblo for a week and found this typical Spanish Andalucían village to be a white washed haven! Very relaxing and very typically Spanish in many ways. Beautiful views and lovely streets for gentle strolling - be aware however for those with fitness or mobility issues that some roads and side streets can be quite steep especially... More

Lovely walking, nice flowers and little shops. Church, gardens, leave time for the castle which is closed for a long lunch break.
