Arroyo de la Miel used to be a former sleepy village, but now it links Benalmádena Pueblo to Benalmádena Costa, which means it is right in the center of the municipality. It has grown into a magnificent area for getting a bite to eat and shopping to your hearts content. The train station is also found in Arroyo, which links the town all along the coast from Málaga to Fuengirola.
The towns may have grown immensely that it is difficult to see where one ends and the where the next one begins, they still have specific features that identify each and every one of
them.

The first signs of human presence in the area were found in the Toro Cave, located 500 meters above sea level on the side of the Monte Calamoro Hill. The presence of presehistoric paintings dating about 35,000 BC are discovered in the area.
So many various peoples and cultures including the Phoenicians and Romans also left their footprints, yet the town ceter of Arroyo de la Miel appeared centuries laters, around a farmhouse where six paper factories were constructed in the 18th century to make playing cards, and different agricultural and livestock facilities were built as well.
The name Arroyo de la Miel ("Honey Stream") is due to the fact that many honeycombs used to exist there during the time of the Christian Reconquest, in an area that is characterized by its hills and where the torrents and streams
flow.
The main urban development took place in the beginning of the 20th century, after the coast railway from Fuengirola to Málaga was built.

The loss of vines and the epidemics that follow one another make a dent in the population, as well as the increase in unemployment and emigration, which lasts until the 20th century.  Little by little the lands of the farmhouse are sold to workers, building their houses there and ending up forming what we know today as the old town of Arroyo de la Miel.

Starting in 1960, some tourist promoters acquired land on the coast, an area currently known as Solymar.  At that time there was no name for this area and it was simply called "the road from Malaga to Cádiz", and it was even wrongly attributed to Torremolinos, so to end this confusion it was decided to call it "the road from Cádiz to Benalmadena Costa".

At the same time, in Arroyo de la Miel the first infrastructures and improvements were developed: the streets were paved, public lighting was placed and the drinking water and sewerage network was created until it became the important city we know today.
