Benajarafe

Benajarafe is a town located on the coast of the municipality of Vélez-Málaga, Spain, in the heart of Axarquia, a region that lies on the Eastern Costa del Sol, in the province of Málaga. It is located 9 kilometres from Torre del Mar and 20 kilometres from the provincial capital Málaga. It enjoys one of the best climates in Europe, with summers of full sun and a calm sea that imitates the tranquillity of the town. It is connected by the Mediterranean Motorway (E-15) north of the city, in the direction of Málaga to Almería.

== Geography == Benajarafe is divided into two different parts, Benajarafe Alto and Benajarafe Costa. The first one is the main sector of the population. It is mainly composed of a large number of country houses, scattered from the top to the bottom of the town. The people who live there are mainly farmers, and as they are still in the process of urbanization, most of them live in streets without asphalt and even in certain sectors, they are surrounded by streams that swell in the rainy season.
