Property for Sale in Benalmádena Pueblo, Costa del Sol

Benalmádena Pueblo is the old village of Benalmádena, perched on the hillside above the coast. Its whitewashed houses, flowered streets and small squares retain the character of an Andalusian village, even though the beaches are only a few minutes' drive downhill.

The village is centred on a pleasant main square, with cafés and restaurants and wide views over the Mediterranean from its lookout points. It is calmer than the beach areas, which makes it popular with people who want a slower rhythm of life but still want sea views and quick access to the coast.

Property for sale in Benalmádena Pueblo attracts buyers looking for character, retirees, couples and families who prefer a village setting with the airport and the coast close by.
