A minute of History:
In the 1950's, the possibility of exploiting tourism in the Costa del Sol started to be valued, and some investors acquired plots of land along the coast for the purpose of building the first hotels.

As a result many first-class hotels were concentrated within a few metres of each other, converting Benalmádena into a distinctive location.
