Welcome to Benahavis Online
Benahavis, a mountain village 7km from the coast, is situated between
Marbella, Estepona and Ronda. Renowned for its restaurants - they call it
the dining room of the Costa del Sol - it is above all a picturesque place,
where one can find incredible mountain- and sea-views.
Boasting 12 of the Costa del Sol's 70 golf courses, and that will go up to
15 in the next couple of years, it is also THE hotspot for golf lovers.
Located on the Southern face of the Serrania de Ronda mountain range,
Benahavis is the most mountainous village on the western Costa del Sol. Its
terrain is traversed by the Rivers Guadalmina, Guadaiza and Guadalmanza.
Regions of great natural and historic interest are to be found within its
boundaries, such as El Cerro del Duque, Daidin and the Montemayor Castle.
On top of that, Benahavis is only a stone throw away from the beaches of the
Costa del Sol and the spectacular mountains of the Serrania de Ronda.
The Benahavis municipality comprises about 145 km2 and the medium altitude
is 150 meters. The climate is Mediterranean, with a medium temperature
of 17š Celsius, and the registered population on 27 February 2007 was 3798
inhabitants, of which more than half are foreigners although that is not
reflected in the town hall personnel, which has only ONE foreigner working,
not even on a permanent basis, and you have to be lucky to find someone
speaking English.
