Benalmádena in May
Around 20 °C by day, sea 18.3 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 5.
May in Benalmádena is 20 °C by day and 18.3 °C in the sea. Few people swim yet: the water will be 19.9 °C in June and 22.5 °C in July. Load is 3 out of 5.
May is when the slope becomes clear. Living without a car scores 4 out of 5 here against 5 in Torremolinos. The reason is simple: the town runs bottom to top, and there is real height between the Pueblo and the sea. Down in Arroyo de la Miel stands the station, and the airport is 15 minutes from it. Up top there is quiet, a view, and a car you cannot do without.
