Is Benalmadena the best place to live in the Costa del Sol of Andalusia, Spain? Many foreigners call Benalmadena home and with its close proximity to Malaga we knew we had to check it out. Benalmadena is a favorite holiday spot for expats, a coveted destination for 2nd home owners and a popular retirement haven.

Join us for a little taste of Benalmadena, pop a bottle of your favorite Spanish wine and get comfortable while will share some of our fun experiences during off peak season and give you a peek at new developments and upcoming new construction projects in the area that may fit into our future plans of investing on a new property or as a holiday home for the winters.
