Benahavís

Benahavís is a white village about 7 km inland, on the southern slopes of the Serranía de Ronda between Marbella and Estepona. The old village keeps its Moorish street layout, while the large municipality around it holds discreet, upmarket estates and golf communities such as La Zagaleta and Los Arqueros. The village is also known for its large number of restaurants.
