History of Benavista
In 1456 Estepona and Benavista was reclaimed by Spain from the moors and from this moment on the history of the town was fully recorded. The instability of this historical period meant that a year later it was re-conquered by King Henry V of Castile, who ordered the building of the Castle of San Luis. Later on the coastal area was further fortified by the construction of an additional two watch-towers as an increased defense against the attacks of sea-going marauders and pirates.

Just a few miles down the motorway from Benavista you will find Marbella here you will find excellent restaurants and bars. The old town is hidden away and retains some of its medieval charm and has some of the finest shops and café bars. The exclusive Puerto Banus, six miles (10km) west, is where you will find the casino and the seriously large yachts. Those visitors who drive just a few miles inland to the villages in the hills around Ronda will discover a Spain completely untouched by tourism, with village markets and tapas bars to be explored.
