Benalmádena, Resort municipality in Costa del Sol Occidental, Spain
Benalmádena extends across three distinct areas: the traditional Pueblo with white houses, the coastal zone with beaches, and Arroyo de la Miel district.
The municipality dates back to Roman settlements, followed by Islamic influence until 1485 when the Crown of Castile gained control of the region.
The Feria de Benalmádena in September transforms the streets with regional music, traditional flamenco performances, and local gastronomy celebrations.
The municipality connects to Málaga and Torremolinos through regular train services on the Cercanías C-1 line and coastal bus routes.
The Puerto Marina features an unconventional design combining Indian and Arabian architectural elements, with residential buildings shaped like pyramids.
