Introduction :
|
|
Without having to leave the city, you can go from Torremolinos to the Benalmadena coast, and from the coast to the mountain, through a landscape of hills speckled with urbanizations, which have the sierra and Benalmadena town as a background to this mountainous, urban and marine scenery. This town, which is at 241 metres altitude above sea level at only 2 kilometres from the coast, is converted at the sides in a large balcony overlooking the mediterranean.

History:
|
|
The coastal situation of these lands has favoured man’s presence since ancient times, according to the evidence of a series of archaeological findings in the Zomera, Botijos, Shara and Toro, or Calamoro caves. There are also Iberian vestiges in a town which was discovered in Cerro Capellanías, as well as Phoenician and Roman findings, who possibly started to exploit the mining resources in the area.

Just outside the town, the Lavadero de Noria, its former municipal wash house, on calle Juan Carlos 1, was still in use as late as 1990. It consists of no less than thirty earthenware basins on a stone base, originally fed by water raised by waterwheel. Further outside the town, at the Venta del Fraile, is a minor archaeological site where prehistoric paintings and artefacts were discovered.
