Benahavis self catering holidays A charming, lively and traditional town on the Costa del Sol
Benahavis self catering holidays - sitting 7km from the coast Benahavis is a pretty mountain village situated between Marbella, Estepona and Ronda.
Now a vibrant and cosmopolitan tourist destination, San Pedro de Alcantara retains its rich Arabic culture and history as can be seen when wandering around the narrow cobbled streets lined with boutiques, cafes and restaurants - the Central Plaza is a magnet for tourists day and night.
The evenings are very lively especially around the beach front. The promenade which runs right along the coast to Puerto Banus is the hub of activity with bars and Chiringuitos open until the early hours.
