El Coloso

Hi Helen. The apartments face the Torrequebrada Hotel, on the way out of Benalmadena towards Fuengirola, and look impressive from the road (passed them yesterday on the way home).
By no means can they be described as central, though whether you consider them in a "good" position or not is really up to you. If you like things quiet, they might be to your taste. If you like to be in the thick of the "biz", well, give El Coloso a miss.
It will take a good 20-25 minutes to walk to the nearest outcrop of bars and restaurants, starting at the Sunset Beach complex. To Benalmadena Marina, I'd say a good 45 minutes walk - if you're nifty on your feet.
Bonanza Square is above the Benal Beach apartments, and right of Paloma Park. When you walk past Benal Beach, turn left at the roundabout and head up the hill, keeping the park on your left. About 300 yards up, turn right at the set of traffic lights and keep on slogging up the hill. Bonanza Square, marked by the appearance of the Frying Scotsman fish and chip shop, will soon come into view on your right.
Hope this helps. Tony.

Thanks for that Tony, They do look nice but I think they will be too far out for us. Maybe the Benal Beach would be ok for us, there are quite a few private rentals in this complex.as well as the Jupiter and Minerva Apts. are these apts nice?
Cheers Helen

The apartments in Jupiter & Minerva vary widely, so do those in their sister blocks Aguila, Iris, Hercules and Agata. The blocks were built in the early 1970's and those apartments that are still in their original state may be quite tatty. One the other hand, those that have been refurbished are usually excellent.
