Benalmadena-Costa (Malaga province)
- Situated 2,41 km above sea level and 2 km from the coast; set on a plateau
forming a huge balcony over the Mediterranean.
- Most popular beach of the Costa del Sol with an award-winning marina, the
Puerto Deportivo whose architectural style is unique yet true to its historical roots.

a successful focal point on the coast.

Nerja (Malaga province)
- Once a Roman settlement and small fishing village some 50 km. East of Malaga,
Nerja is now a thriving multinational resort. However, in spite of its popularity,
its local government strictly enforces new developments to be built in the Andalucian
village style thus retaining its original charm and character – and in the old town,
cobbled streets still echo its Moorish heritage.
- Famous for its caves which lie some 6km inland and in the summer hold classical musical concerts.

Granada (Granada province)
- Granada city, capital of the province with the same name, is a city that truly
reflects Spain´s unique history of the co-existence of Christianity, Judaism
and Islam. The Moors settled here in the 8th century and laid the foundation
for a prosperous civilization. By the 13th century, this Moorish kingdom
stretched from Murcia to Gibraltar. In the 15th century, however, King
Boabdil had to surrender Granada to the Catholic monarchy - but its
architectural wonders (the Alhambra, the Generalife and the Albaicín) and
their influences are living proof today of Moorish rule.
- Granada is a well-rounded, culturally rich city. Here you will find a universal
blend of restaurants, cafés, tearooms and tapa bars, as well as a world-reknowned university.
- Its geographical location at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains is ideal for
touring; its climate allows winter sports to be enjoyed while the Mediterranean beckons a mere 50 minutes away.
