Benahavis Pueblo is an attractive village 7 kilometers inland from
Guadalmina and is reached by driving up through the picturesque Guadalmina gorge. It has a reputation for good cuisine and has a surprisingly large number of restaurants for such a small village. Parking is difficult as a large number of urbanizations have been constructed in recent years and the large number of tourists that visit the area choose to visit the village both during the day and in the evening when the restaurants are at their busiest.
The second area of Benahavis is the beautiful hillside that runs up from
San Pedro past
La Heredia on route to
Ronda. A few kilometers up the hillside past several golf courses takes you to a dramatic valley with stunning multi million pound villas on large tree lined plots and gated entrances reminiscent of Beverely Hills.
