The best cafés and brunch spots in Benalmádena — speciality coffee, breakfast, brunch and healthy bowls for early risers and slow weekend mornings.
Benalmádena's café life is centred on Arroyo de la Miel, the working town between the hill and the sea. Clásica Café on the main avenue is the dependable everyday stop, Meeting Point is the brunch and specialty-coffee favourite, and Molate brings Argentine medialunas and alfajores to the mix.
For something sweeter, I Want A Cake does exactly what it says, with afternoon teas to match. Up in the Pueblo, the bars around Plaza de España serve a traditional breakfast in the sun for very little.
