Benalmadena - Property
By Fiona Watson
Located close to Malaga city, Benalmadena is one of the Costa de Sol's most popular seaside resorts, with lots of great restaurants, extensive beaches and an enviable climate. Benalmadena is a firm favourite with families and couples, with the town's summer population growing to 100,000.Whether you're looking for a holiday property for yourself, an investment, or you're looking to move out to sunny Andalucia either for part of the year or full-time, Benalmadena is an excellent location.
You can choose either a spacious, well-located apartment on the seafront of Benaldamena Costa, with Mediterranean Sea views, with easy access to beaches, a traditional town house in the typically Andalucian pueblo (old centre) on the hill, or a larger villa on the edge of the town, which offers more space and privacy. You'll find a wide variety of properties in Benalmadena to suit all budgets.
Benalmadena has 7km of beautiful sandy beaches close to the town, where you can see remains of Phoenician and Roman watchtowers. You'll find a wide range of restaurants and cafes to suit all tastes, including many Scottish and Irish pubs. For shopping, Arroyo del Miel has excellent facilities, as well as a train station for services to Malaga.
Located just 19km from Malaga airport, Benalmadena has excellent transport connections by both train and bus with the regional capital from Arroyo de Miel station. From Malaga, you can get an underground train connection to Malaga international airport - a large number of airlines, including many budget ones, fly here from destinations all over Europe.
Benalmadena is also a popular location for those looking for somewhere to spend their golden years, with reliable and professional care services for the elderly, as well as excellent hospitals in the surrounding area. So if you're thinking of relocating, Benalmadena has every stage and aspect of life for the global citizen covered.
As the Spanish real estate market has fluctuated considerably in recent years, many bargains can be found in all types of property in Benalmadena, as in much of the Costa del Sol. As the town's popularity with expats continues to increase, along with the businesses which support their needs, property in Benalmadena may well prove to be a sound long-term investment.
