Benahavis, authentic Andalucía on Marbella’s doorstep

Bemont Marbella · January 21st 2015

Next to Marbella, the pretty white village of Benahavis offers a world of rustic charm and natural beauty, where you can also find fabulous Marbella villas or Marbella apartments for sale. Here, within a green valley where a traditional white-plastered village clings to the hillside, you could be deep in Andalucía instead of only a few kilometres from Marbella, Puerto Banús and a host of beaches and golf clubs. For this reason Benahavis has become highly popular with day-trippers, those sampling its reputation as a gastronomic centre full of charming country restaurants and even visitors to its hotels drawn by the gorgeous natural surroundings. The latter come to explore walks, hikes and so-called extreme sports that take you through lush valleys, impressive gorges and hill country that offers occasional vistas of the coast that simply take your breath away.

You can also rent bicycles, go horse riding or take a 4×4 safari that follows ancient shepherd routes through the mountainous terrain, discovering both natural and historical wonders of this region. Indeed, at a short distance from the beach clubs and glamour of Puerto Banús and Marbella you will spot goats, deer, wild horses and also eagles hovering on the thermals overhead as you pass ancient castles and ruins set amid glorious nature.
