Benahavis Village is Just 7km from the coast, inland from San Pedro in Andalucia, Spain and bordering the incredible La Zagaleta Villa complex. We provide historical detail & background for the small rural Andalucian Village of Benahavis. Benahavis is a wonderful traditonal Andalucian village set in the Hills with breathtaking scenery, Flora & Fauna, made famous by it's hostelry & catering college and of course Benahavis' numerous superb restaurants. This culinary gem is situated on the West Costa del Sol in Andalucia approximately 40 minutes drive from Malaga International Airport (AGP). Whilst Benahavis is quite obviously a traditional Andalucian mountain Village in style, Benahavis has absorbed a somewhat International flavour over recent years. There is a wide range of professional services available now: Art Galleries, Pharmacies, banks, doctors, lawyers, dentists at standards equally as high as those in the UK.
