To the east of Saladillo, is the quiet and mainly private residential district of Benamara, defined by quiet streets and residences within walking distance of discreet beaches. Benamara is adjacent to the A-7, a major coastal road, which connects it to the towns of Estepona, San Pedro, Alcántara, Puerto Banus, and Marbella. The district lies between two streams flowing down from the mountains; the Arroyo de la Cabra and Arroyo de dos Hermanas.
