Benahavis is a rapidly growing village situated approximately 11 kilometres
inland from
San Pedro de Alcantara. It is also wonderfully situated
approximately halfway between
Marbella and
Estepona. Benahavis has a wonderful
traditional Spanish feel with the typical whitewashed houses and narrow streets.
It is also a favourite settling place of ex-pats as it is extremely peaceful and
set away from the throng of resorts like Marbella. On saying this, Benahavis is
noted for its mass of high quality restaurants.
Main Tourist Attractions
One of the most popular attractions of Benahavis is the 11th century castle
which stands atop the highest mountain in the area. The climb to the ruins is an
arduous one but will be a relishing challenge for keen walkers and hikers. Once
at the top you are also presented with some stunning views. Guadalmina Golf
course is near the village for those who love the game. Many visitors also flock
to Benahavis to view La Aldea. Considered a microcosm of Benahavis, this area of
the village was created by British sculptor David Marshall. It is filled with
stunning replicas of traditional Andalucian style fountains and antiques. La
Aldea also has a gallery with some of David Marshall’s work. For those who love
the beach, Estepona and the stretches of sand at Malaga are within easy reach.
You can also take part in watersports such as diving, windsurfing and
parasailing. These locations also have a great mixture of sports, historical
attractions and pleasant green spaces for visitors to enjoy.
