Benahavis


















On the way back from Los Angeles to Spain in January, we met Leslie and Burkhardt Weber and their two daughters on the plane. They built and own a boutique hotel and gourmet restaurant called Amanhavis in the gastronomic district of Benahavis here in southern Spain. We decided to drive over for dinner and to stay the night. The hotel is gorgeous, very authentic and rustic with each room designed in an individual way. The village itself consists almost entirely of about 30 restaurants and bars. You can see from the pictures that the courtyard is very pretty and that we had a room with a telescope and a glass domed ceiling to look at the stars. The restaurant was everything it promised to be and dinner was truly an experience with excellent wine from Granada to go with it. It was a magical abundant experience which we intend to repeat very soon.
