Benahavís

This lovely white village is an excellent case in point of a typical Andalusian “pueblo blanco”, featuring a remarkable Arab past. It is nestled on the southern side of the Serranía de Ronda mountain range. However, it’s only 15 minutes from Marbella, which makes it an idyllic hideaway for nature- lovers and sun-seekers alike. Surprisingly enough,  Benahavís boasts an exceptionally international atmosphere due to the high number of expatriate residents who couldn’t resist its countless charms. The tourism increase also helps to create this unique ambience in such a picturesque background that has remained remarkably unspoiled, with its narrow winding streets. As a fun fact, the village is called “The Dining Room of the Costa del Sol”, and for a good reason. The town centre is brimming with high-class restaurants, and its cuisine draws visitors by the thousands.
