Come to Costa del Sol in Spain. Rent a Car at Malaga Airport and visit Benalmadena...
Benalmadena
The name Benalmadena comes from "Bani al-Medina" and means "Son of the Settlement" in Arabic. The town has been influenced by the Moorish settlements but has gone through a significant change in the last decades. There is a big difference between Benalmadenas tourist area and the traditional Spanish village. The Benalmadena area offers an easy lifestyle and a comfortable climate (minimum temperatures of 5º and a summer maximum of 35º) with the light sea breezes.

Location
Benalmadena is found about 12 kilometers west of Malaga City between Torremolinos and Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol in south of Spain.
Benalmádena Pueblo
The old village is a plate of Andalucian charm with the narrow cobbled winding streets between the white washed houses with colourful flowers filled balconies. This is a calm and relaxing little village filled of romance even though it is so close to the tourist bustling Benalmadena Costa. If you are looking for a romantic hideaway Benalmadena Pueblo comes highly recommended.
The village sits on a hillside about 300 meters above the Mediterranean sea with splendid views. In the centre of Benalmadena Pueblo is Plaza de España with a statue of a young girl called Fuente de la Niña which is the symbol of Benalmadena.
Benalmádena Costa
You can say that Benalmadena Costa is very tourist oriented however it is with the beautiful marina full of shops, restaurants and nightclubs. The square above the marina also holds a lot of night clubs and discoteques. On both sides of the marina the beaches stretches to neighbouring Fuengirola and Torremolinos. A nice, flat promenade just above the beach offers a nice walk to Torremolinos. The beaches in Benalmadena are clean and sunbeds are available to rent.
