Gastronomy
The gastronomy in Benahavís is almost as varied as the restaurants that fill the city. But if there is something that really defines the personality of this Málaga jewel, that is the prominence of the sea on one hand and other hand the versatility that the agricultural produce gives to the dishes
This is why Benahavís is known as the dining room of Andalusia, and it is considered a gastronomic paradise by critics and visitors alike, as it features some of the best restaurants of Spain, an endless gastronomic offer of the highest quality. This is reflected by our own Catering School, “Sabor a Málaga”.

«The Mediterranean light is unique, it shines like a precious metal. It brings life to those that bath in it, it lights a road full of unique experiences and unforgettable moments. That light rests placidly between the quiet hills of Costa del Sol, caresses the shiny sea and creates a suggestive illusion in the shape of paradise… more real than all your fairy tale dreams together.»
