Benalmedina
Thursday. Linda and I with daughter Anna and her husband Duane, plus two of Anna’s freinds, Lisa and Hannah who are staying down the coast in Fuengirola, went on the bus to Benalmedina.

Benalmedina would be indistinguishable from other resorts on the Costa del Sol if it were not for the marina. Built on a mock arabic style ans where the expensive boats of the area are moored. It is worth a visit for the marina alone.

The rest of the resort is the usual combination of hotels, promonade and palm trees. The promanade has mosaics along it depicting different things from the area. This one is a very good likeness.
