Property for Sale in Arroyo de la Miel, Costa del Sol

Arroyo de la Miel is the largest and most urban part of Benalmádena, set between the seafront and the hillside village. It is the district where most residents live all year, with shops, parks, schools and services concentrated in a compact, flat area close to the train station.
