SPECIAL PLACES Benalmadena is an attractive coastal town of the
Costa del Sol (approx. 40.000 inhabitants) situated on a hill at
the foot of the Mijas mountains range, only 18 kms. from Malaga city and 8 kms.
from Málaga international airport, which is within 3 hours flying time from most
european capitals.
Originally a sleepy Andalusian fishing village with beautiful white washed
houses, Benalmadena has developed into a lively and animated town which
retains its old charm and character.
The town is small enough to provide a peaceful and secure environment, while
large enough to offer good shops, hotels and restaurants, a large park and a
modern sports centre. Benalmadena offers a wide range of amenities for
all ages, such as an amusement park, a water park, an outdoor cinema, a shopping
centre, a casino, 18 hole golf greens and the popular Puerto Marina de Benalmadena, with 978 mooring slips, a sailing school, an aquarium and a
diving school. It has become one of the favorite meeting places for young people
for its dazzling nightlife.
The geographical situation of Benalmadena enables the students to
organize cultural excursions to the most important cities of Andalucia and to
Morocco, only a short one hour ferry trip away.
Situated between two seas and two continents, Andalucia is the largest of
Spain´s natural regions and the one with the highest population. The region is
wide and richly varied, including the Sierra Morena, the Guadalquivir Valley and
the Betica Ranges. The climate, as varied as its geographical features, is
Mediterranean, with mild winters and dry summers.
The millenarian history of Andalusia has produced an inmense artistic legacy.
The Alhambra in Granada, the Mosque in Cordoba or the Giralda and the historic
quarter of Seville are Humanity’s monumental landmarks. However in the vast
majority of its cities and towns we can find representations of the finest
moments of the Andalusian artistic life throughout time.
Malaga is the smallest of the Andalusian provinces with approx. 600.000
inhabitants. It has a privileged place at the mouth of the Guadalmedina river,
on the Mediterranean coast.
