Estudio Planta Media, Benalmadena Costa

Within this area there are plenty of restaurants, bars, clubs and entertainment venues that cater for many nationalities. Most of these establishments are situated on the main road, the marina and Plaza Solymar, previously known as 24hr square offering up a very lively and late night life during the summer months.

The marina is not only a nightspot but a great place to shop and dine and it is also a very popular residential spot for the wealthier. The marina offers varied international restaurants and as well boat trips to sight see, go fishing, dolphin watching and getting a water taxi to either Malaga or Fuengirola taking in the beautiful coastline of the Costa del Sol.

Arroyo de la Miel is a small but modern town that lies between the village and the coast and is the central point for Benalmadena’s local and foreign expat community to dine, be entertained and shop. It is also home to Benalmadena train station that links the resort to Fuengirola and Malaga via the airport. The bus service is similar to that of the village with a few additional routes that go to the urbanisations along the Benalmadena coast. This has made Arroyo de la Miel a popular commuter town.

Situated near the train station are two of Benalmadena’s most popular tourist venues. There is Tivola World which is the largest theme park on the Costa Del Sol and the Cable Cars which go up to the highest point in Malaga. At the top there is a café and falconry and equestrian shows.

The town offers numerous restaurants that cover many nationalities along with many traditional Spanish bars or British bar style eateries. Arroyo de la Miel is mainly a residential town but in recent years has become a very popular destination for self-catering apartment holidays. This is due to the proximity of the village, the coast, tourist venues and the many boutique style shops that line the main road and pedestrian walk ways.
