Velez de Benaudalla

Only one hour from Malaga International Airport, one and half hours to Almeria Airport, and only 45 minutes to Granada Airport, we're located in the small traditional Spanish village of Velez de Benaudalla.

Velez is nestled between three mountain ranges- Sierra Nevada to the north, Sierra Lujar to the east and the Sierra Los Guájares to the west.  We are also only a short spin of 10 kilometres to the coast of the Costa Tropical to the south.

In the winter, the village benefits from the relative position of the Sierra Nevada. These mountains protect the area from the cold winds of the north and we also benefit from the warm winds of the south. In the event that the weather takes a turn in the mountains we head straight to the coast and the warmth of the Costa Tropical.

The village itself is authentic and typically Spanish. You will find genuine tapas bars, traditional restaurants typical of the Andalucian region, a small supermarket, a few grocery stores, three bank, a pharmacy, a doctors office and and four bakeries (with a population of less than 3000 I’m not sure how they stay in business).

Triathletes can enjoy the newly constructed municipal swimming pool (only open in the summer months), but swimming is also possible in the nearby reservoir created by the newly constructed Rules Dam or in the nearby sea.
