We implore the Ayuntamiento de Benalmádena, (Benalmadena Council), to rid or at least cull the resort of the many African sellers, (lookey lookey men), that are now spoiling the vacations of many tourists. Benalmadena relies on tourism, and if this problem persists, many will stop visiting, and instead will go to resorts that have eradicated them, such as Torremolinos. In a recent poll carried out on a Benalmadena forum, over 80% voted that they should go. On a recent visit to the beach, I counted over one hundred sellers and massage girls that actually pestered us in three and a half hours.

Updates

The local council continues to ignore the constant harassment happening on our beaches every single day. Post this link on your Facebook page and email your local representative today to demand that they enforce existing street trading regulations.

The momentum behind this petition proves that residents and tourists alike are fed up with the current situation in Benalmadena. Now is the time to turn this pressure into action by emailing the local council office to demand a formal response.

The police travelling along the paseo is only moving them temporarily onto the beach. Within a few minutes they are back again.

I love visiting Benalmadena but the constant harrassment from the so called 'Looky, looky men' is a constant source of irritation and this takes away from our overall enjoyment of our stay.
