The E-MAGAZINE of Marbella Hills Homes

A new era begins as we begin to leave the awful experience of the Covid pandemic behind us, and in Spain conditions are such that the authorities have, after detailed deliberations, decided to further ease the restrictions that were in place.

It’s nice to deal with an international team that can discuss your needs in your own language. Quite apart from the fact that most people don’t speak fluent Spanish when they buy a property in Marbella, it’s always a bit overwhelming when you’re adapting to a different legal system, transaction procedures and way of doing things, so at times like this when clarity is of utmost importance you’ll really want to receive information and give feedback and instructions in your native tongue.

As we enter spring, thoughts on the Costa del Sol naturally shift towards the beach. Exercise regimes are stepped up in preparation for summer wear and plans made for the sunny season, when besides the sand, beach clubs, fish restaurants and water sports also beckon. Thanks to a long shoreline there are many beachside spots to choose from in Marbella, but here are our top 5, based on personal preference and many years of client feedback:

Mijas is a large municipal area bordering Marbella on the eastern side that encompasses several different residential areas. The main town and seat of the municipal authority is Mijas Pueblo, a very pretty white Andalusian mountain village overlooking Fuengirola and the Costa del Sol from a height of 430 metres.

Think of Zen and Marbella is maybe not the first place that comes to mind, but look around you will see it all over.

We love all the properties we offer for sale, but like many ‘parents’, we do have some favourites. And the best of the best we collect in our Property of the Month – a monthly highlight of Marbella homes for sale that offer optimal quality, value for money and privileged location and views.
