ok no point buying fags on way out, well not 200 anyway. As Spain is in the EU there is no such thing as duty free, however Fags in Spain are about half the price of the uk. You can always have a trip to Gibralta which there are many of from benalmadena. This is non EU so you can have 200 fags per adult and for less than a tenner. Also a litre of cheap spirits each per adult!
Meals go from about 4euros(cheap place) to whatever for an adult.
I found quite a few bars that were doing a pint for less than 2 euros and a fair few that were doing a euro a pint!

Plenty going on in Benalmadena. Eating around the marina can offer international cuisine at fairly reasonable prices. Bars along the beach front can offer tapas (but not all not necessarily done as in genuine spanish tapas bars) , and also offers Dutch, german, British type food. A lot of the places along the main road (far too many of them) tend to be British orientated....or Chinese/Indian.

The cable car ride costs 12.50 euros per person and on a clear day is a must. Fantastic views from the top along the costa.

Yes, buy ur cigs in Spain....and dont order Sangria unless you can see them make it...often made with cheap wine....a dash of liquer and ooddles of ice and fruit for your cash.
