Experts reveal the 'cheapest' place to retire in beautiful Spain seaside hotspot

For Brits, Spain is one of the most popular destinations, whether that be for travel or choosing a sunnier place to call home after retirement. The province of Malaga is a hotspot for tourists due to its culture, food and natural beauty.

However, its steep property prices can make moving to the province somewhat out of reach. That being said, there is one town within Malaga that promises affordability. Benaojan is a town south-west of Ronda, and in terms of buying a property, it is the cheapest town in the Malaga province, reports The Olive Press.

With a price of about £631.72 per square metre, the cost is significantly lower than Malaga's average, which is roughly £3498.61 per square metre.

Benaoján is part of the autonomous community of Andalusia in southern Spain. The picturesque town is located within the Grazalema nature park and has only 1,400 inhabitants, making it an intimate and friendly place to live.

You can expect high temperatures in the summer months, but the rest of the year offers a pleasant climate with moderate weather and heat.

The area is famous for its caves, which have cave paintings and impressive geological formations. Hiking and climbing in caves like the Cueva del Gato or the Cueva de la Pileta is perfect if you are active or want a day out.

The Nuestra Señora del Rosario church retains its original 17th-century construction, including a Gothic vault in the sanctuary.

If you are into your food, the town is famous for its sausages, hams and other pork products that have people travelling to the area specifically to purchase.

The town bakeries are also popular and the area is equipped with local amenities like a health centre and pharmacy, with its closest hospital being 20 20-minute drive away in Serrania de Ronda.

Overall, Benaojan's beauty, food and cheap property pricing make it a great option if you are looking for a spot to retire in Spain.
