Benalmádena
As well as Benalmádena pueblo (the village in the foot hills) it covers Benalmádena-Costa and Arroyo de la Miel. This small costal resort has a lot of accommodations, tourist and entertainment facilities. Arroyo de la Miel houses Tivoli World and on the coast is the Casinò of Torrequebrada. Popular beaches include Malapesquera; Santa Ana; Cajon and Torrebermeja.
Benalmádena Marina is one of the smallest marinas on the Costa but well worth a visit. With bars, cafés, restaurants and shopping facilities but with less of the hubbub of Puerto Banús it is a pleasant way to spend an evening.
