Compact district between the A-7 motorway and Benalmadena Costa, centred on Avenida de la Estacion and Plaza de la Mezquita. Mix of 1970s pueblo charm and modern commerce, with a year-round population and lively plazas. Former home of Tivoli World, now focused on retail, dining and culture at Casa de la Cultura. Good road links via exit 222 and a busy Cercanias rail stop give the zone its reputation as the “heart” of Benalmadena.
Dominated by 4-6-storey apartment blocks from the 1980s-2000s, many with communal pools and terraces (e.g., Jardines del Gamonal). Townhouses appear in Benamaina Alta and Santangelo, while detached villas line the upper slopes of Santangelo Norte. Ongoing upgrades include facade refurbishments and energy-efficient retrofits in central buildings, attracting renovation investors.
