Restaurants in Los Flamingos
Being so close to Benahavís and so close to the Autovía del Mediterraneo there is a great variety and for all tastes and budgets.
On the one hand Benahavis, being a town with mountain characteristics, its gastronomic offer perfectly reflects the typical dishes of this style of towns, such as varied meats. Rabbit, suckling pig, veal or venison, but it also offers all the charm of coastal towns, such as fish and shellfish zarzuela, sole and other exquisite marine species. All in the same town, spread over many restaurants that make this town a true icon of Andalusian cuisine. Benahavís also has a hotel school, the Hispanic-Arab School of Mediterranean diet.
On the other hand and in the direction of the sea we also find, and as expected, a great variety of Restaurants, both on the beach and next to the Mediterranean highway. From international, Asian and Italian food to the most typical Andalusian food, they are only a few kilometers from Los Flamingos.

Beaches in Los Flamingos
Los Flamingos is located on the side of the mountain. The closest beaches are those of Guadalmansa and El Saladillo.
Guadalmansa beach is the perfect place for people who want to be on a beach without crowds, especially in the months when others are completely packed with residents and tourists. They are natural in nature, perfect for those moments of tranquility and stillness. They are known for their water sports activities such as kite surfing, although not as massive as in Tarifa.
