Benalmádena, Spain, Lee Juggurnauth

Lee Juggurnauth jets off to Spain to help childhood sweethearts Sue and Albert from Chatham find their perfect holiday home. The couple first met over forty years ago and love spending quality times on holiday with their children and four grandchildren. They first discovered Benalmádena on the Costa del Sol five years ago and instantly fell in love with it. So much so, that they’ve been back ten times and now intend on buying a holiday home where they can spend great times with their family. Lee has 5 great options lined up for £190,000 but will they love any of them enough to make an offer?

About the area

Benalmadena is a twenty minute drive from the airport and has three areas. The Pueblo, around a mile inland up in the hills, is originally an old mining town founded by the Moors, when this area was part of the Muslim kingdom called Al-Andalus. With the growth of tourism, it expanded south to include the village Arroyo de la Miel and then down to the sea where Benalmadena Costa has over six miles of beautiful beaches. This combination of traditional Spanish villages and modern coastal resort has made it one of the most popular destinations in the region.
