It’s a bit away from Benalmádena Costa (located in Torremolinos). But it is a very good beach. Highly recommended!

Teleferico Benalmadena (Benalmadena Cable Car) offers an aerial trip which takes you from Benalmadena to the top of Monte Calamorro where you can discover the most exclusive panoramas of the Costa del Sol. On the summit, the Cable Car has a complete range of leisure ideas such as falconry displays where you can enjoy the spectacular flights of birds of prey in unspoiled nature, with species such as the peregrine falcon, golden eagle, eagle owl and griffon vulture.
The summit also offers different perfectly marked walking routes and strategic viewpoints for taking in the most spectacular landscapes of the Costa del Sol, the Sierra Nevada and, on clear days, Gibraltar and the coast of Africa. A must see and try! ;)

The picturesque town of Arroyo de la Miel is one of the three districts that make up the town of Benalmádena. Situated between Benalmádena Pueblo and Benalmádena Costa, this lively town is full of winding backs streets and pretty plazas that adhere to the old village way of life. It is one of the most popular destinations for tourists and also has a large British expat community.
The town offers every type of bar and restaurant imaginable and visitors can enjoy traditional Andalusian tapas, avant-garde cuisine and high-street coffee houses, especially in the pedestrianized Calle Blas Infante.
One of the most popular tourist destinations is the secluded Plaza de España, a delightfully tranquil square that is entered through the 18th century Portal de San Carlos, which bears the coat of arms of the town's founder, Felix Solesio.

Customs and culture
Spain and Spaniards
Spaniards (and especially the Andalusians) are very friendly and tolerant. Therefore, I don’t have any specific tips for following any specific/extraordinary rule. Just say “Hola!” when meeting and "Gracias", it will be enough :))
