ADSL in Benahavis

As Telefonica do not seem capable of installing ADSL in the village due to a shortage of lines, do not expect to be able to get adsl for the foreseeable future. In response , telefonica is offering unlimited dial-up internet access for approximately 22 euros per month.

Benahavis Map & Directions

Benahavis Map & Route Planner:



Benahavis Map
Driving From Estepona/ Gibraltar direction:

Signposted clearly Benahavis exit off N340 after El Presidente. Take exit, follow under the bridge and over roundabout passing the Repsol garage on your left hand side. The village is 7 km from that point.

From Malaga/Marbella direction:

Follow the N340 through San Pedro de Alcantara, under the Marbella arch. there is a large, clearly signposted Exit overhead to Benahavis where the road veers to the right. Straight over the roundabout following the road for 7km.

To reach Benahavis centre: At the castle fountain roundabout at the foot of Benahavis, take the 2nd turn heading uphill & follow the road 1km. Parking is limited in town, some under the Church in carpark (free) and very little in town, so you are advised to park in the designated spaces either side of the road & walk up. The streets are narrow & difficult to turn if you come into the village...be warned.

To reach Benahavis Gran Hotel Benahavis, Regidor Hills etc: Either take the right hand turn at the foot of the village (rounadbout contains a fountain shaped like a castle) and follow the road around, or continue uphill to the Sando Inmobiliaria Show house & flags then turn right (downhill). Parking is adequate at the bottom of the village.
